Although i don't like the crowded beach in the summer, i enjoy it very much when the night comes or also during the grey days of the fall/winter. It can be any beach, and it's amazing to be there with friends to drink some beers, have a picnic and it becomes much cooler when i have this gem only 10 min walking from my home.
In addition to its unique architecture, this place is my favorite spot to skate in barcelona. There i can feel the wind and the sound coming from the sea. It's relaxing and refreshing and at the same time i'm putting my energies out while skating.
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.
