The Cap Creus since May 1998 declared as a nature reserve, lies by the sea as well as on land. By the sea the area begins at the land point of Bol Nou near the Cala Tamariu within the region of Port de la Selva and ends just before Roses at the land point of (kat. Punta) Falconera. Fishing with nets is forbidden within this area, in some zones, however fishing in the traditional way with staggered arrays or the " Palangre " is permitted. The protected area on land covers an space of scarcely 90 hectares. Fauna and Flora are equally protected .
This nature reserve is the only one in Spain, which covers sea and land at the same time; it contains the largest uninhabited area in the Spanish Mediterranean.
The rocky coast which is barren and mainly consists of slate, is continually broken up by small bays. Fauna and Flora of the area are quite unique and comprise a variety of very rare species of sea-birds in danger of extinction. Winter is domineered by very strong northerly winds which continually hinder fishing and maritime traffic. Therefore the area around the Cap registers a very small environmental pollution and is renowned as underwater paradise for divers. (next time)..
And breathtaking views coming to seeing the bay of Cadquès, all this effort rewarded by a dorade fish "a la plancha" at lunch.
