Whitewashed fishing village and Dalí's home at Portlligat

About Cadaqués

Cadaqués is the easternmost town of the Iberian Peninsula, a whitewashed village on the Cap de Creus peninsula reached by a winding mountain road. Salvador Dalí lived next door in Portlligat, and artists from Picasso to Duchamp spent summers here. Rocky coves, slate lanes and seafood terraces make it unforgettable. Cadaqués is about 170 km from Barcelona Airport and 75 km from Girona Airport.
