Cala Culip

Aquesta petita cala té l'honor de ser l'última abans del Cap de Creus per la part nord. Segurament per això fou refugi desesperat de molts vaixells en plena tramuntanada, com la que veieu aquí bufant. Per desgràcia d'ells i sort de l'arqueologia, molts derelictes (vaixells enfonsats) antics i medievals ens han aportat molta informació de la història naval mediterrània.

----------------------------------

 

This tiny bay it's called Cala Culip, and it's the only refuge in the most dangerous coast in all Catalonia, the windy Cap de Creus. Here, north wind called tramontana blows strong most of the time. Some greek, roman and medieval ships tried to enter here in desesperation, and it's remanins have been excavated in recent years. His curse is our archaeological blessing, as usuall (tell that to the pompeyans).
