Cap de Creus Natural Park, Maritime-terrestrial protected area in Alt Empordà, Spain

Cap de Creus Natural Park extends over 13,843 hectares, combining terrestrial landscapes with marine environments along the Mediterranean coast of Catalonia.

The natural park, established in March 1998, contains numerous archaeological sites including megalithic dolmens and the tenth-century Sant Pere de Rodes monastery.

The land sections include three Natural Sites of National Interest: Cap Gros-Cap de Creus, Punta Falconera-Cap Norfeu, and the Rodes mountain range.

Visitors can access information points in Cadaqués and Port de la Selva before exploring the park, which remains open daily from 09:30 to 21:30.

The park features the largest coralligenous formation in the Mediterranean Sea, with extensive red coral colonies in its marine protected areas.
