Parc Natural de Cap de Creus

Catalunya · Alt Empordà, extremo mediterráneo del PirineoPyrenees

The Pyrenees reach the sea among folded rocks, coves and wind-exposed headlands. Cap de Creus combines land and marine protection, with different rules between sectors. For a family outing, choose a short route and viewpoint: shade is scarce, tramontana winds can be strong and lighthouse access is regulated seasonally.
