Cadaques is one of my favorite spots on the Costa Brava. There is just something about this particular place that brings a smile to my face. I love walking around the town and popping in to various boutiques. It is just about an hour from Girona and located on the gorgeous Cap de Creus peninsula. Many famous artists often visited this ancient fishing village, including Dali and Picasso, which adds to the charm of the rocky streets. Cadaques is now a tourist destination, so I will only visit September through April. The rest of the year the streets and beach are packed with vacationers and it takes away from the character. Visit in the off season if you can!
We left Girona by 9am and made it to Cadaques just a few minutes after 10am. The road to Cadaques is quite narrow, even for European standards, so I like to take my time. It was the perfect day to visit because the sun was strong and the wind was not! It can get quite windy here, so I was grateful for the reprieve.
Eston and my dad explored the beach and surrounding area while my mom and I did a bit of shopping. Aurelia was at nursery school, so she missed the fun excursion this time around. We enjoyed a nice lunch on the water and then picked up a few fun things for family members back in California. The wind began to pick up at lunch, so I was glad we had arrived in the morning. The drive out of town was just as spectacular, though it was quite busy with tourists coming in for Setmana Santa.
