Salvador Dalí often visited Cadaqués in his childhood, and later kept a home in Port Lligat, a small village on a bay next to the town. A summer holiday here in 1916, spent with the family of Ramon Pichot is seen as especially important to Dalí's artistic career. Other notable artists, including Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Richard Hamilton, Albert Ràfols-Casamada, 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.

Wonderful little café in Poble Nou for light lunches and afternoon tea/coffee. The interior is fantastic and you can buy arty magazines and cute plants here.

it is a cactus garden!

The "1929. The Barcelona Pavilion" is one of the places where I always take my friends when they come to visit me to Barcelona. It was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as the German National Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. The day I made the photo was raining heavily, even then I found it great.

Old refurbished car workshop that is now divided into three parts: exhibition space, bookshop specialized in photobooks and a cafe. It is the only place in the city where you can have a drink, listen to a Velvet Underground vinyl, and transport it anywhere through a photobook or an exhibition.
