Cadaqués is a remote town on the Cap de Creus peninsula and is a hot spot for people who want to visit the Cap de Creus Natural Park and Salvador Dalí's home in neighbouring Portlligat.
The narrow cobbled streets lined by whitewashed houses are well worth a wander, as is the church of Santa María which was paid for by fishermen working overtime after it had been burned down by pirates. Now the church hosts the annual International Music Festival in July.
However, I visited Cadaqués for a different reason - to learn more about the the incredible story of Narcis Monturiol
Highlights
Starting at the the seafront statue of Dalí, take a short stroll (1km) over to Portlligat and Salvador Dali's house/museum
Explore the wilds of nearby Cap de Creus Natural Park - the most easterly point of mainland Spain and follow in the footsteps of Narcis Monturiol (see article below)
Visit the white-walled church of Santa Maria

Guided tours
If you would like a guided tour, you could speak to Mercè from Rutes Cadaques or Anna from AnnaPersonalGuide.
I went on a stroll (actually more of a hike) to Cap de Creus, that you can read about below.
Let's go on a walk that inspired this guy to created one of the world's first fully functional submarines.
