CATALONIA - COSTA BRAVA: CADAQUES, ROSES I EMPURIABRAVA


Cadaquès, Portlligat and Roses are three nice seaside villages located in Creus Cape. We spent a lovely weekend visiting these villages as well as Empuriabrava, another village of La Costa Brava known by its canals. Without any doubt, Cadaquès is the village I liked the most.



Previously, in 2007, we visited the Dalí Theatre-Museum, a cultural activity I strongly recommend. With this visit and those ones of Cadaquès and Portlligat you will know the three places Dalí love most.

Next, some pictures I took in Cadaquès, Roses and Empuriabrava.
