Why CadaquésIt does not try
It does not try
too hard.
The sea is never far away. The streets are still narrow, the beaches are pebbled and the landscape around Cap de Creus remains wonderfully wild.
You can spend the morning in Dalí’s studio, eat beside the water and follow a coastal path before dinner. Nothing needs to be rushed.
When to comeFour seasons.
Four seasons.
Four different villages.
Mild days, flowers along the paths and space on the terraces.
Morning swims, boats in the bay and long evenings outside.
Softer light, quieter streets and some of the best walking weather.
The most intimate side of Cadaqués. Cafés, galleries and the old town at its calmest.

Walk to the house where Dalí lived and worked. Book ahead, especially in summer.
02The old town & Santa Maria
Climb through the white streets to the church and look back over the bay.

Wild rock, small coves and walking paths shaped by the wind. Go early and take water.
04Cala Nans lighthouse
A favourite coastal walk from town, with open views across the sea.

06The beaches
Swim close to town or walk further for a quieter pebbled cove.
07Sant Pere de Rodes
A Romanesque monastery above the Bay of Roses. Worth the drive for the building and the view.
