Cadaqués is in the Alt Empordà comarca, in Girona province, Catalonia, Spain. It is on a bay near the Cap de Creus peninsula, on the Costa Brava of the Mediterranean Sea. It is only a 1/1.5 hour drive from Girona Airport.

In 2002 Cadaqués had a population of 2,612 people. Artist Salvador Dalí often visited here in his childhood, and later kept a home in Port Lligat, a small bay next to the village. Other notable artists, including Mei Fren (see his commanding charcoals of the nineteenth century Cadaques beleaguered by a winter tramontan in the Cadaques museum. He was the first artist to live in Cadaques and gave the town many of his works and a marble top table on which he sketched many of its turn of the century fishermen), Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Antoni Pitxot, Henri-François Rey, Melina Mercouri and Maurice Boitel also spent time here.

Cadaques is a beautiful holiday destination and totally unspoilt making it a lovely family diving destination.
