Caves and potholes in Cap de Creus

Cap de Creus, the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula and Catalonia’s first coastal-and-inland Natural Park, is a slate massif shaped by the tramuntana wind, in Alt Empordà. This lithology, unusual for karst – metamorphic rock rather than limestone – generates erosion cavities and shelters of a different type from those usual in the catalog, in a landscape that has inspired artists such as Dalí.

15 cavitats in Cap de Creus have been catalogued, mainly in Roses, el Port de la Selva and Cadaqués. LLIRI, CAU DEL, amb 460 m de recorregut.
