The prettiest village on the Costa Brava, hidden away at the end of an endless winding road. Its challenging access is precisely what's kept its magic intact: whitewashed houses, fishing boats, and a light that captivated Dalí, Picasso, and Duchamp. Cadaqués lives life in no hurry. Come stroll its cobblestone streets, sunbathe in crystal-clear coves, and enjoy fresh fish for dinner as the sun sets over Cap de Creus. If you can, stay the night. Cadaqués after dark, without the daytime crowds, is next level.
