THE SMUGGLER’S STORY
“Since I’ve been
able to talk and listen to my parents, I’ve been fascinated by the
‘Cueva del Contrabando’. The smuggler’s cave.
Within this cave lies the
spirit of my grandfather and his forefathers.
My grandfather was
convicted of smuggling in the late 1940’s. Lots of fishermen
were. It was the only way of earning enough to keep his large
family fed.
These men risked their
lives and liberty, undercover of darkness in the often threatening
sea and rocks surrounding Tossa de mar. Offloading Tobacco from
ships and hiding it in secret caves.
Last year in 2005, my
father finally showed me the entrance. I can’t explain the
emotions of entering and climbing inside this historical cavern.
A lot of that first
journey was done in darkness, it was a fascinating experience.
You too, can now come with
us and take the SMUGGLER’S JOURNEY.
You don’t have to be an
Olympic swimmer but you do have to have a sense of adventure”
