Latest Cadaqués hotel reviews
Pro
Isolated, beautiful, home to Dali (even the nature looks surreal...the rocks at the base of the cliffs near the water are unreal), awesome nightlife at El Hostel
Con
Mostly touristy
In a nutshell
Exactly what you'd expect and more remote than you can imagine.
akikonomu Says: Stroll around the old town and seafront before and after meals to take in the beautiful colours of the Mediterranean and whitewashed walls. There's a good view from the Baroque church and you can sit in peace along the outer walls to enjoy the sunshine and scenary.
akikonomu Says: Walk to Port Lligat and Dali's house to explore where the wacky artist spent half his year coming up with his creations. You'd need to book via Internet since you can't buy tickets on the spot and they allow a small group to enter the house at any one time. The guides...
Cadaques at peak season, Casa Dali in Port Lligat
Geolina Says: Cadaques at the end of August will be crowded, no doubt, but it is still enjoyable. The Hotel Playa Sol is one of the nicest (if not the nicest) ones in Cadaques, central, right at the beach with a really nice pool-area. Haven´t seen the rooms though :-)The Casa Dali in Port...
3 Reviews and 110 Opinions Fantastic stay at this hotel. All around fine service . The 3 V's . View, View , View. Oh yes ,...
akikonomu Says: Choose any of the touristy bistros or restaurants along the seafront. The food is alright but the atmosphere of sitting by/ near the sea, taking your own sweet time to relish the food is unbeatable. Don't insist on hurrying and you'll enjoy the experience. Wine and dine -...
EL BARROCO: you must try it to beleive in El Barroco
imasy Says: the first impression I had when I saw the façade green multicolour Floridness, there was magic in this attractive restaurant, rather Museum, Garden of Eden, a theatre, the beautiful classical music makes you dream .... after our dessert the great Sammy (the owner) started to...
mstinawu Says: This was a cute restaurant and just decided to go based on that. Bad idea. The ivy leaves covering the place unfortunately did not cover up the foul food. The glass of house wine I got was SOUR. I can't believe they would just serve wine like that. Did they think foreigners...
Pastisseria La Mallorquina: bakery
seatpants Says: Simple pastry shop in the middle of town.Its exactly what you need in the morning if you are unable to sit down for Esmorzar-Breakfast. cafe cortado i coca amb pinyols(sp)espresso with milk and pine nut sweet bread
Casa Anita Nit: Suck the Shrimp heads with the owner!
seatpants Says: A very famous yet out of the way "cave" restaurant on a back alley of Cadaques. A local friends father took me there for an impromptu lunch. The lunch turned into an all afternoon affair. We met the owner, who showed us how to "suck" the shrimp heads and then top them off...
A friendly cafe: On top of a lookout
jonathanlayer Says: We found a little restaurant on top of a lookout. The food was decently priced considering the touristy nature of the location. We sat outside and ate pan tumaca (tomato on bread...a Catalunya favorite) and potato salad in the heat, but the view was worth any sunburn...
Suarri: A little taste of Morocco/Cuba in Catalunya!
seatpants Says: Suarri = swankyThe bald-headed bar tender made the best damn Mojito....ever! He used dark rum and a splash of seltzer. The music was so good, even though it was just the house stereo. The atmosphere was north african in style but with the laid back lounge vibe of most bars...
dalidaze Says: You have to go here! If you do nothing else during your entire trip to Cadaques, go to El Hostel around 1am for a really fun experience. From the outside, this discoteca looks like nothing special. On the inside, it looks like a house that has been transformed into a rather...
arlequin_g Says: You have several options to go to Cadaqués. For me the best is to take a bus from Barcelona from the North Bus Station (they also stop at Urquinaona square). This bus takes you right there, to the parking lot which is few minutes away from the centre of Cadaqués.Also you can...
dalidaze Says: Transportation in Cadaques is quite simple if you are a tourist...you walk everywhere. Several of the locals ride around on scooters, and they ride FAST! I met a few people who took me around on these, and they drive like maniacs up and down the steep narrow streets!...
lichinga Says: Parking place may be a serious problem, indeed. So, here's an innovative approach (I've seen something similar in Parati, RJ - Brazil, where parks might be left in a low-tide area, provided you know when the sea rises!) in the heart of Cadaques.
seatpants Says: If you are not used to a scooterable city, it can be fascinating and fun. However when you have decided to park yours at the bottom of the hill and walk up the street that looks like certain death for scooters, be certain that someone else doesn't agree and is "gunning' it...
seatpants Says: Be aware of the stones that make up the streets of the old city. They are inlaid vertically so they could form designs. If you are wearing flip flops and have either had too much to drink or it rains, you might as well sit down and wait it out cuz bare feet don't work...
seatpants Says: Please remember "siesta" when paying for 1 hour photos. In my opinion, save the damn things until you get home. The proprietor will glady take you money for the service and then shut down for two or three hours to nap and then open back up and "finish you photos in the one...
DMcD Says: 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...
arlequin_g Says: 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...
navypinstripes Says: We almost passed up the short trip from Figueres to Cadaques and we're so glad we didn't! The drive to Cadaques through the mountains is breathtaking all by itself. Once you arrive, you won't be disappointed with this beautiful little fishing town. We only stayed a few hours...

Where I really experienced the Mediterranean
Cadaques...my curse, this was my finest experience in the Mediterranean and am therefore left with this magnificent town as what I have to judge all other Medi-port towns by.

The Beautiful Skies of Cadaques
Cadaques is truly the most beautiful place I have ever seen. In the morning as the sun is coming up, the colors dancing on the water are subtle pastels, sleepy and muted. By mid-morning the colors in...
