Platja de Guillola

Platja de Guillola, Beach cove in Cadaqués, Spain.

Platja de Guillola is a south-facing beach in the Guillola bay beside Punta d'en Cudera, within the Cap de Creus Natural Park about six kilometres from Cadaqués. It is 50 metres long and averages 10 metres wide, made of gravel and pebbles rather than sand, and sheltered from the tramuntana wind.

The name Guillola is a diminutive of guilla, the Catalan word for fox, an animal still found around the cove. In the past, fishing by eixugador was practised here: fires were lit at night on the beach, and the light attracted the fish. The cove lies within the Cap de Creus Natural Park, six kilometres from Cadaqués, beside the punta d'en Cudera.

The name Guillola is a diminutive of guilla, the Catalan word for fox, an animal still found around the cove. Fishermen once worked the beach with the eixugador method: a night fire lit on the shore attracted fish toward the light.

The beach can be reached from Cadaqués by following the road toward the Cap de Creus lighthouse, with parking available nearby. The terrain is hilly, so wearing proper footwear and allowing time for the walk is recommended.
