Cap de Creus Natural Park is one of Catalonia’s most dramatic and beautiful coastal landscapes. Located at the easternmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula, it’s where the rugged Pyrenees mountains descend into the Mediterranean Sea. The park is famous for its cliffs, hidden coves, and panoramic hiking trails — and it’s easy to see why Salvador Dalí found inspiration here. Visitors come for its wild scenery, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful atmosphere near Cadaqués.
