In-Depth Information
If you have time for only one stop on the Costa Brava, you can hardly do better than
Cadaqués. A whitewashed village around a rocky bay, it and the surrounding area
have a special magic - a fusion of wind, sea, light and rock - that isn't dissipated
even by the throngs of summer visitors.
A portion of that magic owes itself to Salvador Dalí, who spent family holidays in
Cadaqués during his youth, and lived much of his later life at nearby Port Lligat.
The empty moonscapes, odd-shaped rocks and barren shorelines that litter Dalí's
paintings weren't just a product of his fertile imagination. They're strewn all round
the Cadaqués area in what Dalí termed a 'grandiose geological delirium'.
