ABOUT CADAQUES AND THE AREA
Calabel apartment rental is situated 8 minutes walk from the sea front at Cadaques (3 minutes by car), and has extensive views of the Cadaques coast.
Cadaques is about 1 hour drive from the French border, and is the ideal place to visit to capture the exuberance of Catalonia and the Spanish spirit of life. It is magnificently located on the Cap de Creus, with tremendous panoramic views that inspired great artists from Picasso to Dali.
There are numerous festivals throughout the year - JANUARY - the Birth of the Sun Festival - with traditional dancing; and a traditional procession to St Sebastian's chapel; FEBRUARY - Carnival; APRIL - a food and cooking festival; JUNE - celebration on the eve of St John; JULY - Our Lady of Carmen - boat processions - sardanes (dancing); AUGUST - Festival of Cadaques; SEPTEMBER - Summer Festival; DECEMBER - Winter Festival with mountain bike treks, dances, sporting events. And all year on the last Sunday of the month there is an Antique fair.
There are almost 40 restaurants to enjoy sea food at its best; as well as shops, numerous art galleries, and museums (Municipal Art Museum, Peirrot More Art Center, The Dali Museum - where Dali lived). Water sports, scuba diving and numerous other activities are to be found, with golf, rock climbing, fishing, cycling, all within access.
Nearby there are natural wonders of the Cap de Creus National Park, with the lovely monastery of Saint Pere de Rodes; or visit the Marshes of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park. Dali has a large and entertaining museum in Figueres, in an old theatre - that has been modified like only a surrealist knows how. For the more enterprising Barcelona is not too far away and makes an excellent day or weekend excursion, to visit the myriad of shops, restaurants, night clubs, art museums and galleries as well as the outstanding architecture of Gaudi - the Cathedral. For those seeking skiing can be found in the valleys and mountain sides of the Pyrenees in Catalonia resorts at Masella, La Molina and Nuria.
