Cadaqués A nice little port famous because Dalí used to kick about here with Gala and his arty friends. I didn't want to spend all day here because there were too many tourists and it reminded me of the Greek islands, and I've been to nicer, quieter towns there. When we sat on the road side for 10 minutes we heard English and French voices pass us more regularly than Spanish or Catalan. In the car park 5 of every 6 cars were from France. I think part of the charm of this place is the context - so many other costal towns in the Costa Brava have aparently become dominated by large hotel blocks and tourists on sandy beaches, in that context this place must be very charming. As we didn't bother going to those other towns we missed that context. Friday 22nd April
