We sail with our NEW BOAT 2019 along the coast of the Cap de Creus Nature Park to reach Cadaqués, where we make a free-time stop of 90 minutes to explore this supremely picturesque fishing town.
Among all the towns and villages along the Costa Brava, there is one in particular that stands out for its singularity and authenticity: Cadaqués. Located on the eastern side of the Cap de Creus peninsula, and considered by many people the pearl of the Costa Brava, its history dates back thousands of years to when the Ibers were the lords and masters of these lands. The name ‘Cadaqués’ could originate from the evolution of ‘Cap de Quers’ (cape of rocks) due to the abundance of rocks on the Cap de Creus.
Cadaqués is famous for having attracted many artists, and most especially Salvador Dalí, many of whose works were inspired by the landscapes of the Cap de Creus. He even made his home in Portlligat, which is now a house-museum open to the public.

Itinerary
Nous longeons la côte du Parc naturel du Cap de Creus jusqu’à Cadaqués où nous faisons une halte de 1h30 de temps libre pour visiter ce village de pêcheur si pittoresque.
Parmi tous les villages de la Costa Brava, Cadaqués se distingue par sa singularité et son authenticité. Situé sur la face orientale de la péninsule du Cap de Creus et considéré par beaucoup comme la perle de la Costa Brava, son histoire remonte à des milliers d’années, alors que les Ibères régnaient en maîtres sur ces terres. Le nom de Cadaqués pourrait provenir, entre autres possibilités, de l’évolution du Cap de Quers (cap des rochers), étant donné la grande quantité de rochers existant dans le secteur, surtout du côté du Cap de Creus.
Au début du XXe siècle, de nombreux habitants appauvris ont dû quitter Cadaqués pour les Amériques d’où ils sont revenus enrichis, on les appelle les « Indianos » ; c’est eux qui ont fait construire les fameux petits palais modernistes comme « la maison bleue », inspirés des bâtisses coloniales ; début juin se tient à leur mémoire la Fête et Foire des Indianos.
