The Pyrenees goes from the Oceanic Atlantic in the Basque country to the Mediterranean sea in Catalonia. In this area, you can also visit the Cap de Creus National Park, the first place in the Iberian Peninsula where the sun rises. You can also see the house of the famous Catalan painter Salvador Dalí.
Departing from Girona around 9 a.m. and after one-hour journey we will come to the famous picturesque seaside town of Cadaqués whose winding cobbled streets and peaceful setting well deserve a stroll around the old quarter and along the beach-front. On leaving this pretty town, we will set out for the Bay of Port Lligat.
There we will have the chance to visit the house where Salvador Dalí spent his summer time and where he drew inspiration from for most of his surrealist artistic work.
After lunchtime we will head towards the Creus Cape peninsula, located at the easternmost tip of the Iberian mainland, which is a foreshore nature reserve of tiny coves and turquoise waters. A walk along the cliffs edge will provide you with a chance to admire the breathtaking views of the seascape and we will cap it off with a visit to the historical lighthouse at the Cape.
In our way back there will be the chance to visit the Sant Pere de Rodes monastery.
As soon as the visit ends, we will travel back to Girona reaching our destination by 6-7 p.m.
Guest Hotel, Girona train station or any desired point.
Miquel was a great guide, knowledgeable about the area we visited, funny, opiniated, happy to listen to our opinions and input. We spent a wonderful day visiting the Dali house in Port Lligat, and because we had visited Cadaques before Miquel took us to Selva where the seaside town was less busy than Cadaques, recommended a great local restaurant, and then drove us around the wonderful scenic area before getting us to the rail station for our trip to Tarragona. Thank you for a great day!
