Cadaqués...

Spain

Cadaqués is a small town right on the Mediterranean in the North-East of Spain, in Catalonia. It is right on the edge of the Cap de Creus Peninsula, where the Pyrenees mountains meet the sea, just south of the French border. Salvador Dalí once famously said of the town in 1920: "I have spent a delightful summer, as always, in the perfect and dreamy town of Cadaqués. There, alongside the Latin sea, I have been quenched by light and colour". Facing the Mediterranean at the head of a crystal clear bay, the town was a favorite of both Picasso and Salvador Dalí who were drawn to the area's incredible light and fresh air. Cadaqués remains a favorite spot for artists who enjoy the views and the clear air. The town has been developed carefully over the years and most who discover it return at least once.
