Cadaques (Cadaqués is located on the Cap de Creus coast.

Cadaqués is a city in AltEmpordà located on the Cap de Creus coast. The old town forms a protected historical site and is a cultural asset of national interest. As a tourist town, I feel that it lacks a sense of history and has not left much historical trace. It is just a gimmick to attract people's attention by painting all the houses white, but white towns are common in Andalusia in southern Spain. There is only Dalí's former residence for people to visit, which I think is not very attractive. The town's external transportation is very inconvenient, with few buses from the nearby transportation hub Figueres to here. If you want to spend a day taking photos, it may be worth it, but if you come for tourism and scenery, it is not a very suitable place. Many years ago, Cadaqués was chosen by many artists and intellectuals to spend short or long quiet seasons, which gave it a high reputation, especially in the circles of painters and visual artists. At the highest point in the old town is the Church of Santa Maria. This is a late Gothic building, which began in the mid-16th century and was completed in the 18th century. Inside, we find a huge Baroque wooden altar, designed by Jacint Moretó and manufactured by Pau Costa in 1725 and gilded in 1788. The relationship between Cadaqués and art was established through the painter Salvador Dalí, who, although born in Figueres, was connected to the nearby Portlligat Bay, where he built his curious residence in the 1940s. It is the easternmost town in Catalonia (and the Iberian Peninsula) and the Empordà region. The autonomous municipality occupies most of the eastern coast of the Cap de Creus peninsula. Cadaqués is isolated from the rest of Alt Empordà by the Pení Mountains, facing the sea, and was not separated from the rest of the region (by land) until the end of the 19th century. This is a village where we can find small lithium mica. Cadaqués municipality extends all the way to the easternmost point of the Cap de Creus Peninsula, which is the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula. On the land, it is irregularly cut by the final slope of the Sierra de Prades, and when it reaches the sea, it forms a very rugged coastline with small beaches. The characteristic image of Cadaqués is a series of geological, architectural, and environmental elements: gray slate, olive trees and green shrubs, terraces made up of dry stone walls climbing up the ridges, and most importantly, white houses. The town of Cadaqués is located at the bottom of the bay of the same name, facing the sea, surrounded by the Pení and Puig dels Bufadors mountains and isolated from the interior. The town opens up from both sides of es Baluard, forming two large bends on the bay, followed by the coast. These areas, from the west of the old town (in the middle of Llané Gran) to the east (behind the houses on Carrer de Colom), are also included in this historical range. To understand the history of Cadaqués, one must visit the old town and get lost in the maze. The medieval origin of the small town, surrounded by walls, occupied the space of today's Cadaqués historical center. Currently, only the old fortress, which was once part of the isolation wall and is now part of the city council, is preserved. Walking through the old town, travelers can step on the village's old pavement, the rastell. This type of sidewalk is made of stones extracted from the sea, formed by the oscillation of the waves. The narrow Carrer des Call is the road that best preserves the authentic rastell pavement of the village. It takes the form of spikes, designed to absorb moisture and prevent people from slipping.
