The abertis foundation became the protector organisation of the Natural Park of Cap de Creus, after the agreement signed by the Catalan Minister of the Environment and Housing, Salvador Milà. and the president of the abertis foundation, Miquel Roca i Junyent. This collaboration will enable actions of fostering, recovering and preserving this place to be carried out. The agreement is part of the Ministry's initiative to constitute a board of companies that sponsor its parks.

The Natural Park of Cap de Creus, created as such in 1988, has a surface area of 13,843.11 hectares, of which 10,780.44 correspond to the land and 3,063.67 to the sea. The park is in the Alt Empordà region (Girona). Its borders cover almost the entire coastal strip of Roses, Cadaqués and El Port de la Selva, and goes inland as far as Palau-Saverdera, Pau, Vilajuïga and Garriguella.

This natural park, visited by about 500,000 people during 2004, is unique because of its three-way interest: the wealth of its land biology, the wealth of its marine biology and its historic and cultural heritage. From the biological point of view, one should particularly mention the plant and wild life diversity, the coexistence of Mediterranean and extra-Mediterranean features and the presence of numerous singular species. It is also known for its landscape value, with the exceptional beauty of the coastal settings and inland areas. As far as the historic and cultural heritage that surrounds it is concerned, the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes - a true jewel of Catalan Romanesque art - is the most representative feature.

The priority actions for the Cap de Creus concern the improvement of the infrastructures and services, signposting, the reintroduction of species and dissemination about the place by means of publications and studies. In addition, the action plan for this natural park also envisages, in a more general way, the development of the management of the marine area, the prevention of forest fires, the recovery of urbanised areas of great natural and landscape interest, the promotion of scientific research, fostering public use while respecting the natural area, the promotion of environmental education, dissemination about the natural and cultural heritage and the contribution of the local population to its sustainable socio-economic development.
