Cadaqués, just north of
Girona. It's no wonder the artist cherished this quaint, charming and largely unblemished village, characterized by
whitewashed houses and a rugged coastline.

Cadaqués, you can visit a 16th/ 17th century church, the Església de Santa Maria or the Museu de Cadaqués, which includes works of Dalí among other local artists. A short walk to the charming settlement of Port Lligat will take you to the Casa Museu Dalí, the artist's summer house.
