Walking in Cap de Creus: Dalí's land - 6

In Roses you’ll find coves among rocky cliffs, and places of best natural interest. Worth a visit is La Ciutadella, an example of a Renaissance defensive structure on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

Starting from the sea you will climb to the Puig Alt (492m) discovering an amazing megalithic area. Climbing up we will pass by dolmen De la Creu d’en Corbatella (3000-2700 years bC) with some menhirs and a few farther the dolmen of El Cap de l’Home. When you will reach the sommet (Puig Alt) you will enjoy an amazing view of the Roses gulf. Coming down to Roses you will discover a nice quiet valley with terraces and olive groves.

Today you’ll follow the coastal path, which leads you to discover the roughest part of the Costa Brava, and the most beautiful, for its uniqueness. After the walk, we arrive at Cadaqués, a beautiful white coastal town, surrounded by mountains and was a favorite of both Picasso and Salvador Dalí. This last one, lived and worked in his house in Cadaqués.

Loop walk in the magnificent area of the Cap de Creus, the eastern point off the peninsula with a nice light house. Coming back you will cross an area known as Pla de Tudela and spectacular moon earth with magnificent rock where Dalí used to get inspired, something indescribable.

We’ll leave Cadaqués and we’ll head to the North through the heart of the famous Cap de Creus National Park. You will follow a rural trail with beautiful views of the virgin and wild coves. As a spectacular backdrop, the Pyrenees. You’ll arrive in Port de la Selva, where you can have dinner in some of the lovely restaurants.

The trail leads us to the west, and we leave the coast, climbing the mountains towards the magnificent medieval monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. We start downhill to the sea to arrive at Roses, a fishing and touristic village in front of the sea.

Departure from Roses after breakfast.
