Hike to the Lighthouse of Cala Nans

On the way to Cala Nans lighthouse we’ll discover the southern shore of Cadaqués Bay, unspoilt and less crowded, in the typical rocky landscape of Cap de Creus. We’ll find Sa Sabolla beach, the lighthouse and the wonderful sights of the bay at the tip of Cala Nans. The sun shows up on the warm horizon. Scattered clouds float in a magical magma. The beam of the lighthouse has shone upon the darkness of this cape since 1864 and shows us the way along the dark path. According to the book ‘The Merchant Navy in Cadaqués’, Cala Nans was very popular among the lighthouse keepers, who would take the job as an early retirement. At the beginning of the xxth century Cala Nans was abandoned due to the loss of its strategic value. Then, in 1982, the public pressure stopped its demolition and prompted its complete renovation.
