Cadaqués
Anthiro 57, CC BY-SA 3.0 ES
Cadaqués is a remote town on the Cap de Creus peninsula and is a hot spot for people who want to visit the Cap de Creus Natural Park and Salvador Dalí's home in neighbouring Portlligat.
The narrow cobbled streets lined by whitewashed houses are well worth a wander, as is the church of Santa María which was paid for by fishermen working overtime after it had been burned down by pirates. Now the church hosts the annual International Music Festival in July.
However, I visited Cadaqués for a different reason - to learn more about the the incredible story of Narcis Monturiol
Highlights
-
Starting at the the seafront statue of Dalí, take a short stroll (1km) over to Portlligat and Salvador Dali's house/museum
-
Explore the wilds of nearby Cap de Creus Natural Park - the most easterly point of mainland Spain and follow in the footsteps of Narcis Monturiol (see article below)
-
Visit the white-walled church of Santa Maria
Station stroll ideas
Cadaques is a small place, so wandering from the bus station towards the seafront. Here is a map published by the Tourist info to help you wander.
Guided tours
If you would like a guided tour, you could speak to Mercè from Rutes Cadaques or Anna from AnnaPersonalGuide .
I went on a stroll (actually more of a hike) to Cap de Creus, that you can read about below.
How do you solve a problem like Monturiol?
