A natural wonder in the magnificent Girona region, the Cap de Creus Nature Park is a pristine reserve of wild forests, Aleppo pines, rocky outcrops, hidden coves and spectacular cliffs. It's a storm of seabirds, blue sea views, fragrant vegetation and rose bushes. The rocks have been weathered by wind and time to create imaginative spectacles, and hiking or sailing along these shores is sure to sparkle. The nearby coastal town of Cadaques wraps around a magnificent bay and offers an array of steep, narrow streets. This pretty region of Spain has long been a source of inspiration for artists and designers, and has tempted the likes of Matisse, Picasso and Dali - the latter even keeping a house nearby for immediate access to the sunlight glinting off the sea. Long walks, swimming on sweltering afternoons and aperitifs in the sun on summer evenings leave a lasting impression.
