About
Cadaqués is a town in the Alt Empordà comarca, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain. It is on a bay in the middle of the Cap de Creus peninsula, near Cap de Creus cape, on the Costa Brava of the Mediterranean. It is a two-and-a-quarter-hour drive from Barcelona, and thus it is accessible not only to tourists but also to people who want a second home for weekends and summers. In 2018, Cadaqués had an official population of 2,752, but up to ten times as many people can live in the town during the peak of the summer tourism season.

Why visit
Visit Cadaques for music, theater, and performance, landscape, water, gardens, and nearby routes. In Cadaques, the strongest material is where museums, streets, religious buildings, markets, performance spaces, food, or nearby landscapes explain the surrounding region. A good itinerary should stay selective. For Cadaques, choose the anchor first; the cafe, market, church, gallery, or evening event should follow from that location. For Cadaques, this usually reveals more than adding one more distant sight. Use the surroundings of Cadaques deliberately: they should clarify the place, not simply add movement.
When to avoid
Do not visit Cadaques expecting every useful stop to be close together or easy to improvise. For Cadaques, the practical constraints are part of the itinerary: hours, transport, weather, crowds, and the distance between useful areas. For Cadaques, group stops tightly, verify hours, and use a ride when transit, darkness, or neighborhood conditions make that wiser. If the main interest is one nearby site, it may be better to treat Cadaques as a base rather than the whole destination.
Warm dry summer
June through August are the months when heat and daylight most affect a visit to Cadaques. In Cadaques, warmth can bring humidity, storms, and tiring afternoons. A warm day in Cadaques should have phases: outdoor streets, indoor collections or churches, then a slower evening. In Cadaques, confirm opening hours before assuming a long continuous day will work.
Cool windy season
December through February are the cooler or wetter months in Cadaques. For Cadaques, the cooler season is useful for interiors, but the walking plan still needs weather flexibility. This period in Cadaques can work well for museums, archives, theaters, galleries, cafes, and short walks, provided the route stays modest. For Cadaques, keep an indoor fallback and verify the return route before committing the day.
