Cap de Creus

Just before everyone is off for Easter break, we got a chance to do the route to Cadaques and Cap de Creus we have planned for the Breakaway group. It was a beautiful almost summerlike day and there was none of the famous tramuntana wind.

The white-washed village of Cadaques is one of the most beautiful on the Costa Brava and holds a special place in the heart of all who visit. Walking in the little streets up to the church, tucking in little shops and seeing all of the local cats is a wonderful respite from the sun and tourists along the waterfront.

Now, just a little more on the bike and we come to the tip of Cap de Creus, the easternmost point on the Iberian Peninsula. Here, where the Pyrenees meet the sea is a rugged, worn land with the contrasting deep blue of the sea. The perfect place to stop and contemplate this raw beauty before returning to Girona.
