Costa Brava: Cadaqués
Fisherman arranging nets in their boats. Coffee, paella and crema catalana awaiting customers in milk-white-washed buildings accented with brilliant blue hues. Children playing in soft waves lapping up on the shore. Painters still at travail outside on the street. Feel such visions combine in the unforgettable atmosphere of what was once a haven for Salvador Dali here in Cadaqués. We invite you to judgement this piece of heaven with us on Gourmand Breaks Cadaques trips.
A beacon of Costa Brava pride, Cadaqués is often seen as having everything that is substantial about Catalonia’s coastline—the art, the views, weather, fresh seafood, architectural aesthetic and relaxed residents. At one side of Cadaqués in Harbour Lligat is Dali’s house (open to reserved tours) and on the other is Roses, home to what is often regarded as the best and most only restaurant in the world, El Bulli, with its world-famous chef, Ferran Adriá. Some say it is the area’s tramontana winds, which be a higher than average level of oxygen, that has inspired so artists, which have also included Picasso and Walt Disney, to hang out the area.
Despite years of popularity, the area has preserved its original look and culture successfully and is a Mediterranean darling not to be missed.
