Cadaques to Cap de Creus

We, or rather Thibault, had decided we should do this coastal walk between the somewhat touristy town of Cadaques on the Costa Brava up to the lighthouse at Cap de Crus. 

Have to say it was the perfect day for such a walk - about 20C and sunny with a breeze.

In the distance were the snow capped mountains of the Pyrenees

But down in the town it was blue skies and blue seas.

We left the car in a car park in the centre of town (which we shortly discovered was a mistake - there ere free parking areas along the trail which would have both saved us money and a bit of the more boring part of the walk) and set out through the town and up into the countryside.

Below us was the Dali Museum.

The walk was a moderately strenuous one - a lot of going up and then down again on a stoney trail. But the views were to die for.

Eventually our target came into sight, but up the biggest climb of the trail, to the lighthouse at Cap de Creus.

There were three restaurants up at the Lighthouse. We picked the first, and inadvertently picked the most expensive thing on the menu, a baked turbot. (Inadvertently in that it was just under a heading of fish of the day) It was good but not amazing. The views however were. We could have sat outside to enjoy them, but only if prepared to be buffeted by an astonishingly strong wind up at the top. It was windy I struggled to even hold my camera.
