Cap de Creus is a paradigm of Geological Heritage. Located in the NE part of the Iberian peninsula, it represents the easternmost outcrops of the Pyrenees. The Cap de Creus forms a peninsula in the Mediterranean and contains the most singular landscapes of the Costa Brava. Geological, biological and historical-cultural elements converge on the Cap de Creus peninsula to shape a site of great scientific and landscape value. The outstanding character of this site is mostly achieved from its geological configuration and from the Mediterranean clime, which is here extremely windy (tramuntana), giving rise to many spectacular landforms and beautiful rocky coasts. Moreover, the main heritage value of this area concerns the quality and quantity of geological outcrops that enable the understanding of geological processes far beyond their regional interest. The dawn of the Cap de Creus geological research can be placed in the early seventies. Previous works were rather scarce and lacked a global approach to the main geological features of the region. Some references on minerals and rocks from the Cap de Creus area appear in general treatises and compilations (Calderón, 1910; San Miguel de la Cámara 1936) and later specific works on a transformist interpretation of the origin of pegmatites and Port gneisses (Denaeyer, 1947 and Denaeyer and San Miguel, 1954) and on the basic geology of the area (Cañada, 1964). In the early seventies, Jordi Carreras thesis on the general structural and metamorphic trends of the area and his later M.Sc. research on shear zones and mylonites can be regarded as a milestone for the Cap de Creus geology. Nowadays, and after 40 years of research, this area has become a worldwide reference place for structural geology. The main reason for this is the exceptional quality of outcrops and structures exposed. This fact, together with that in the nineties the Cap de Creus stood as one of the unique landscapes preserved in the Catalan coast, lead the Cata
