There’s an otherworldly quality to this coastline with its scrubby headlands and jagged cliffs. The expanse of wilderness that leads to Spain’s most easterly point, Cap de Creus, is kept quiet thanks to strict restrictions on cars during the summer months. While you can take a shuttle bus from Cadaqués to the Cap de Creus point, the best way to explore the main coves is hiking, kayaking or aboard a boat.  

A total treasure trove of hand painted Spanish pottery whether you’re after a giant plant pot dipped in green glaze, a splatterware dinner set or some charming small bowls painted with fish motifs. The prices are very reasonable and it's located just as you enter the town of Cadaqués. 

A Cadaqués institution since 1978, this Lebanese restaurant in the back of the old town was a past haunt of Dalí himself and the artist even designed the logo. Still run by the same family all these years later, it's a trip back in time visiting this restaurant in a former 16th century oil mill that’s filled to the brim with antiques and has a lovely flower-stuffed courtyard.  

Masterminded by Carole Bénazet and Frédéric Lagarrigue, of Département Féminin in Toulouse, this harbourfront shop is stocked with high-end womenswear and menswear for summer days with a mix of major luxury designers such as Loewe and Jacquemus and smaller, independent brands like La Veste and Flabelus.
