Cap de Creus - Spain

These last days I've received a few surprise cards from friends who have been traveling. Well, in Gemma's case it was a short trip as she doesn't live that far from Cap de Creus. 

The Cap de Creus Natural Park lies at the easternmost side of the Iberian Peninsula, it is a space of great biological, geological and scenic importance (...).

Cap de Creus Natural Park, the first maritime-terrestrial park in the country, protects the cape of Creus peninsula and its marine environment.
They are areas of exceptional biological, geological and scenic quality, which required protection with a special care regime. The geological configuration, unique in the world, and the rich vegetation, in which Mediterranean and continental elements coexist, have led to numerous strange species, some endemic.
In addition to the unquestionable biological and geological value of the area, is the exceptional scenic beauty that it offers: wild, varied and colourful. Abrupt cliffs, dark rocks furrowed by the wind and salt, islands and secluded coves. There are a number of places that are exposed to the fury of the tramontana winds and others that are shielded from this dry and wild wind, where the views are simply unrepeatable, as appreciated by celebrities such as Josep Pla or Salvador Dalí. - in:
