In
the '60s, the visiting intellectuals and hippies knew Cadaques as
Spain's St Tropez. To a certain extent it still remains the same.
Picasso had lived here, and Salvador Dali lived close by in Port Lligat.With its stony and narrow beach, it is not a place for sunbathing - its a place to see and be seen.
Crowning the hill above the old town, and reached by narrow cobbled streets, is the 17th century church of Santa Maria, with its magnificent baroque altar.
There are a number of galleries and museums, mainly in the Old Quarter.
Two prominent galleries are Museu de Cadaques and the Centre d'Art
Perrot-Moore. You are not only reminded of Dali in the museums and gift
shops - look for the statue on the sea front and tributes to the artist
in the facades of various hotels.The quality of the food offered in the town's restaurants (particularly the fish restaurants on the western side of the sea front) is superb!
