(0h00min; 0 kms) Port de la Selva (6m). The GR11 follows the coast towards La Punta de la Creu. You pass a marina, the nautical club and a series of coves, and when you are about to reach the Point, you turn south-east towards an area of villas. At the junction, you take the street that leads uphill on the right (Calle del Puig Gros). Soon after the end of the uphill stretch, you follow a track on the left that heads gently up to a col (4kms/190m) where you come to another track on the left. Shortly afterwards you cross a cattle grid and leave the track for the second path on the left (well waymarked).

(1h05min; 4,8 kms) Sant Baldiri de Taballera (125m). You pass Sant Baldiri and at the junction, fork right. After a while you cross the track going to Cala Taballera — the route used to go this way — and go straight ahead along a wide path. After passing Mas Vell (right at the crossing), you begin the descent to Riera dels Nou Recs, where the rocky landscape lends it a strange beauty. After reaching the river you gain height once more, the path becomes wider, and after 400m you take a path on the left that comes to the...

(2h00min; 8,3 kms) Crossing/Track Mas de la Birba (144m). The sign, made in the purest “Far West” style, presided over by an animal skull, certainly grabs the attention. Follow the track to the left, then shortly afterwards take a path on the right, which comes to another one, and this one will take you to the...

(2h50min; 11,9 kms) Road to the Cap de Creus lighthouse (110m). Cross the road and continue by path over rocky terrain, with constant rises and falls. Not long before reaching the lighthouse, half a kilometre in a straight line, the path comes out at the road on a hairpin bend, just before a long straight section, where the land narrows towards the last patch of terra firma. Follow a path that drops down to the right and almost touches Cala Jugadora, then climb back up to the road at another hairpin bend, where a path takes you directly to the lighthouse.

(3h35min; 14,8 kms) Faro del Cap de Creus (80m). You are almost there. As you head towards the point, at the beginning there are no markings, but they soon appear. Almost at the end, the narrow landscape above the cliff seems unwilling to give in. It is too late now to turn back. Just a few steps to go and you have made it. Congratulations!

(3h50min; 15,3 kms) Cap de Creus (25m).
