Hotel Nou Estrelles

From Roses to Cadaques

by DMcD

Went way out of the way to get to Cadaques at the urging of a friend. It was o.k. but much smaller and slower paced than I had imagined. Reminded me of Avalon or the Istmus on Catalina Island in California. Got lost and happened upon Dali's home (over a hill and down a ravene). Surprisingly , they have a very good likeness of the Statue of Liberty as you enter the town (last thing I expected to see there). The terraced hillsides surrounding the steep entry road from Roses give evidence of a vaste olive growing economy from the distant past (now abandoned). If you want a sleepy seaside village , this is it (at least in the off-season). Roses had bigger beaches and an ancient Roman citadel to visit.

DALI’S HOUSE IN PORTLLIGAT

by arlequin_g

Dali and Gala bought a small fisherman’s house and as they were gettimg more money they bought the ones next to it until they made this big house. It has turned into a museum and if you want to visit it you have to schedule. From the house you can see some landscaes which inspired Dali and some of them can be seen in his works.

OTHER INTERESATING POINT

by arlequin_g

The poing you see in the photo is other of my favourite sites in Cadaques. From here you have a great view of the houses and church and if you look on the right you see the coast and the houses along it. On the lefft side you find some interesting shops, you see a hippy style in them and the stuff they sell. You can buy cloths or other decoration things.

If only it were sunny!

"2 Nights of Tranquility"

My boyfriend and I and another couple came w/ us to spend two nights here. This was our base for going to El Bulli the 2nd night.

"Willing the Sun to Come Out Does Not Work"

We were planning to go snorkeling and kayaking here, but it was so windy and cold the one full day we had here we couldn't. The water was amazingly clear for such a overcast day and I could only image how beautiful it would've been if the sun just came out to take a peek at us!

"wonderful for diving, looking art and only have fu"

the little town Cacaques is placed in the north of spain, just behind the border to france.

"no all - inclusive"

you will not find big Hotels there or All-inclusive-Clubs, but very nice little pensions, hotels or campgrounds . . .

"Dali"

on every step in the town, you will meet Salvatore Dali, who lived long time in Port Ligat, the old harbour of Cadaques. His house today is a museum. Also you can see his pictures in Figueras, in his own, great Museum . . . .
