Another hot day today with the temperature around 30 degrees. The Costa Brava fortunately has a very gentle sea breeze which provides some relief from the heat during the afternoon. A quick walk into Llançà this morning, and then out in the car.
We drove up to Colera, a small town wedged in a ravine in the coastline. Whilst the back streets are nice enough, the promenade and beach area is a bit tired, with graffiti plastered over the exterior of a run down hostel building. We didn't stay long, so it was back into the car and then back to Llançà, to find the road to the
Cap de Creus.
The cape is the most easterly point on the Iberian peninsula. It also has national park status protecting both the plant and animal life. The plan was to drive down to
Cadaqués, a picturesque seaside town on the coast. But it seemed that most of Catalonia had the same idea and we ended up in a slow moving queue of traffic for about 45 minutes. Once inside the town, all the car parks were full and the local police were directing traffic away from town. With no knowledge of the local car parks, we decided to turn around and head back, which lots of others were also doing. It was a nice drive, but the town itself will need to wait for another time :-)
