Cadaques hotels - About Cadaques
Cadaqués is a town in the Alt Empordà comarca, in Girona province, Catalonia, Spain. It is on a bay near the Cap de Creus peninsula, on the Costa Brava of the Mediterranean Sea. It is only a two-and-a-half hour drive from Barcelona, therefore it is very accessible and not only attracts tourists, but people who want a second house to have on the weekends and summers. In 2002 it had a population of 2,612 people.
Artist Salvador Dalí often visited here in his childhood, and later kept a home in Port Lligat, a small bay next to the village. Other notable artists, including Mei Fren (see his commanding charcoals of the nineteenth century Cadaqués beleaguered by a winter tramontan in the Cadaqués museum. He was the first artist to live in Cadaqués and gave the town many of his works and a marble top table on which he sketched many of its turn of the century fishermen), Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Antoni Pitxot, Henri-François Rey, Melina Mercouri and Maurice Boitel also spent time here. Cadaqués is mentioned in the story Tramontana by Gabriel García Márquez.
In a time it remained undisturbed, its interesting submarine flora was studied during several years by psychologist Françoise Ardré.
Long a sleepy fishing village, Cadaqués is now a tourism destination. Although it has about 2,000 permanent residents, sometimes up to 10 times that number of visitors stay there.
The famous Salvador Dalí visited this city during the summer holiday of 1916, and discovered 'modern painting'. This holiday (that he spent with family of Ramon Pichot) was the start to his wonderful career creating mind-boggling creations.
On Mondays there is a travelling market in Cadaqués, located near the parking lot. This market has a wide variety of products.
