The Chronicle Via Free Cap de Creus "David Mark In the early fifties I landed in Gerona, a region that knew very little. The brothers Perich, fishing enthusiasts, I started in the art of angling. We did society: they had experience and I drive. In twenty years of fishing from shore, I saw the sunrise in a thousand ways and I know the cliffs, capes, bays and rough spots from Tossa to Port Bou. What I'm impressed was the Cap de Creus. The first time coincided with an east wind and the performance hit from the lighthouse. The sea, deep blue with big white crested waves topped by curly, which breaks down in unremitting cliffs. The foam covered reefs and surf, and wore white. I have not forgotten that day and from visits to the place by sea or by land, fishing, to calm me or to you know, have been very frequent.
From 1975 to 2006 I had boat-boat-many say. Moored in Roses and lances, the Cap de Creus has been the usual fate. The show is different from the sea according to the time day, the brightness, the time of the year, seen up close or pan. Even at night, with calm sea, it has charm. How to forget the dinner with fishermen friends, anchored in a sheltered bay, enjoying mussels and rock fish? At sunrise, taking a good bath balls, there is nothing better for the spirit and less aggressive nature that communion with the beauty of the landscape, no matter what their qualifications?
read in this newspaper: "The Department of Environment to regulate access to the area of \u200b\u200bCap de Creus lighthouse and restricting traffic", and City Council strongly opposes Cadaques. Allege that each year about 250,000 have access vehicles and some 500,000 people. Wonderful! Now that the sensitivity takes just half a million people annually who enjoy nature in a privileged deserve facilities and restrictions. Why do want to take a measure that affects the enjoyment of the beauty of our land, the Catalans and visit us? Those from an office on a map, plan "to save him," Do you know well head? Deal with the car, strictly prohibit camping and fires and leave freely enjoy the splendor of nature. About angling, every winter, at least once with an SUV, trencàvem pillars and chain which barred the way to the coast at the entrance to Club Mediterranean. I'm too old for adventures, but if necessary it will be easy to find volunteers. OK we have to preserve the Earth with reserves and parks for future generations, but not prohibiting it at present. Balance must be found to enjoy and not destroy it. Think and serve the people and not vice versa. Whenever we have chained from the outside: never at home. Beyond barriers and chains! Free way to think of any!
