A recent tradition: Greeting the first sun of the year with a Sardana
Cap de Creus has become the site of a unique tradition: raising a glass at the first ray of sunshine of the year. Those seeking a refreshing experience gather on this rocky promontory extending from the Costa Brava coastline to spend New Year's Eve or to greet the first rays of the new year.
This moment is followed by a nice bowl of hot chocolate, and depending on the mood, a traditional circle dance, the Sardana.
At Cap de Creus, fans of this recent tradition swear that the rocky promontory is the very first place on the Catalan coast to be touched by the rising sun. They meet there at midnight to celebrate New Year's Eve around a good fire.
