An important town in Dalí's artistic career
Cadaqués, in the province of Girona, is an old fishing village and holiday destination for the Catalan bourgeoisie since the 20th century. Do you want to know why?

To talk about a holiday in Cadaqués is to talk about the Mediterranean Sea, about good weather, about sunsets in a secluded cove and, of course, about Salvador Dalí, the great surrealist painter. Keep reading, don't miss a thing!

Our Cadaqués getaways mean that lovers of art and culture can visit the Salvador Dalí house-museum, a fisherman's house in Portlligat in the municipality of Cadaqués. This is where Dalí lived and produced a large part of his work from 1930 to 1982, the year in which his wife Gala died.

The house is located in front of the Cala de Portlligat cove, described by the artist as "the most beautiful place in the world". Today you will find few bathers because of the large number of recreational boats anchored in the area, but undoubtedly, the image deserves to be immortalized.

A better bathing spot is the Playa del Ros beach, not so long and with sand or stones depending on the area. The water is shallow, which makes it ideal for children. If not, a 40-minute walk from the centre of Cadaqués you will find the Cala Sa Sabolla cove. This hidden-away spot can only be accessed on foot, so it is virtually untouched, with fine snorkelling in its crystal-clear waters.

Complete your Cadaqués holiday packagewith an excursion to Cap de Creus, the most easterly point on the Iberian Peninsula. Its rugged coast with its cliffs and coves makes for a great visit at any time of year. In addition, the ecological wealth of the area has earned it natural park status.

The nearest airport to Cadaqués is Girona, just over 50 miles away. Take a bus to the Girona bus station and, once there, another to Cadaqués. From Barcelona, you can take a direct bus from Barcelona Nord station. Whichever way you choose, our Cadaqués travel offers will make you want to come straight back.
