An inspiring village in the Mediterranean Sea. – What to know before visiting
Cadaqués is a small village in the autonomous community of Catalonia and the province of Girona. It is an isolated fishing village on the Cap de Creus peninsula, close to France’s border. This feature gives Cadaqués its unique mysticism, local identity, and bohemian lifestyle. The road to this village is rocky, with over fifteen kilometers of curves around the mountain. The town makes it hard for significant tourism to develop, preserving the village as a spot to feel life as its time has stopped.
The city’s origins are as dreamy as its status of inspiration for artists. From stories of shipwrecks, small fish markets, pirates, invasion attempts that made the city walled off for centuries, and fires that destroyed the city’s historical archives, Cadaqués has seen it all. Discover the history of this village by wandering around the Judería de Cadaqués, where you can see the historical street pavement made by hand with stones from the sea, known as Rastrell, and remnants of the old houses in the area mixed with the modern architecture of some of its constructions such as the 1960s modern house of Casa Staempfli.
Visit the charming XVII-century church of Santa Maria de Cadaqués. Here you can discover stunning religious art in a church on the tallest point in town, from where you can have a great view of the surroundings.
The mysticism of Cadaqués has attracted several artists looking for an escape from the fast life of the big cities for a calmer and more inspiring life close to the sea. Many artists like Pablo Picasso, Federico García Lorca, Maria Martins, Joan Miró, René Magritte, and Salvador Dalí have been attracted to Cadaqués to find inspiration, and they have fallen in love with the city. Salvador Dalí had a special connection to the town and left an enduring legacy in Cadaqués. He spent his younger years visiting the village and later lived here with Gala Dalí. You can enjoy this legacy by visiting the Salvador Dalí House Museum, a small fishing house where Dalí and Gala lived and worked throughout the 1930s and until Gala died in 1982, and also the Museu de Cadaqués, where you can enjoy photographs and exhibitions of Dalí’s work in a beautiful house with the traditional regional architecture.
