Best things to do in Cadaqués

Cadaqués Must-Sees

Cadaqués centers on the labyrinthine House-Museum Salvador Dalí, where the artist lived and worked for over fifty years. The village is defined by the late Gothic Santa Maria church and its iconic whitewashed architecture. To the east, the Cap de Creus Nature Reserve offers a rugged landscape of Mediterranean vegetation and steep cliffs, marked by a historic lighthouse. Coastal highlights include the pebblestone Platja Gran in the town center and the sheltered Platja de Portlligat, located adjacent to Dalí’s former residence.
