Excursion to Cadaqués and Sant Pere de Rodes with wine and local products tasting
Description
The first thing we will discover on this guided excursion is the Cap de Creus Natural Park, which is the most northeastern park on the Iberian Peninsula. An impressive and unique natural space, surrounded by spectacular cliffs that offer unbeatable views over the Gulf of Roses. There we can visit the lighthouse and take a walk to discover its vegetation and the rock formations that characterise it. Then we will head towards Cadaqués, the village most often reproduced in the paintings of the artist Salvador Dalí and where he lived for many years of his life (more specifically in the Cala de Portlligat). We will visit this beautiful village of white houses, streets made of herringbone stones, its beaches and the church of Santa Maria which is located in the highest part of the village. We will take advantage of the wide gastronomic offer of Cadaqués to have lunch and then we will go to the impressive monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, located in a spectacular place, in the mountains of La Verdera, inside the Sierra de Rodes at an altitude of 520 metres. This privileged location offers a visual dominion of the bay of Port de la Selva and the northern part of Cap de Creus.
