"Whether you arrive by bus (there's a direct one from Barcelona airport) or car, your first view of this Catalonian hideaway comes as you crest the hills of Cap de Creus natural park, before descending the single road of switchbacks that flows into town. With every turn, Cadaqués reveals more of itself, until its many little beaches, shining white buildings and bay of bobbing boats come into full view."
"Cadaqués is chic, but not luxe. Even the most stylish hotels have a 'our home is your home' feel about them, and while the locals spend their days in linens, no one is kitted out in resortwear come evening. It might be a village, but you could easily spend a week here, exploring pebbled coves, beachside restaurants and the surrounding natural park - a swimming costume under your shorts and t-shirt, a Joia gelato in hand (make sure to order the turrón flavour)."
Cadaqués sits at the end of a single winding road through Cap de Creus natural park, revealing pebbled coves, white buildings and a boat-filled bay. Salvador Dalí lived in the village for decades, and his presence shapes the artistic atmosphere. Hotels feel homely rather than luxurious, and locals favor linen and a relaxed evening style. Visitors can spend days exploring coves, beaches, galleries and boutiques, sampling Joia gelato and local anchovies, and walking the harbour. The surrounding natural park offers hiking and scenic views, while independent shops sell high-end and handmade goods.
