Cap de Creus
The easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, with wind-eroded rocks in strange shapes that inspired Dalí's surreal paintings. The sunrise from the lighthouse is superb.
Cap de Creus is the easternmost point of mainland Spain and the first land-and-sea natural park in Catalonia. The weathered slate has been carved by the Tramontana wind into shapes resembling eagles and camels, and Dalí painted this landscape in several works. At the end of the road stand a lighthouse from 1853 and a restaurant. You can walk down paths to the bay or take a boat from Cadaqués to explore the sea caves along the coast. It is about 8 km from Cadaqués. Private cars are banned at certain times in summer, so you will need a shuttle bus or to walk.
