About Cap de Creus Natural Park
The cape owes its name to the large number of submerged rocks and reefs found in the area. These obstacles posed a danger to navigation, and throughout history, many vessels have suffered shipwrecks in this area. Sailors used to mark these hazards with crosses (in Catalan = Creus) to warn other mariners. Therefore, "Cap de Creus" would be roughly translated from Catalan as "Cape of the Crosses", referring to these markings and the danger they represented for navigation in the area. Established in 1998, the park holds the distinction of being Catalonia's first maritime-terrestrial park. Encompassing a vast area of13,886 hectares (34,310 acres)hectares, it safeguards a significant portion of the Cap de Creus peninsula, comprising10,813 hectares (26,720 acres)of terrestrial terrain and3,073 h
