Welcome
Cava: a Catalan way to celebrate and welcome. In Catalonia, cava is much more than a drink. It is the sound of a bottle being uncorked when there is something to celebrate; it is the glass we raise to welcome someone, share a joy or wish for the start of a season full of good moments.
The seabed, the other landscape of Cadaqués
The seabed of Cadaqués, Cap de Creus and the Costa Brava. When we look at the sea from Cadaqués, we see a surface that changes constantly with the light, the wind and the seasons. But beneath that surface stretches another landscape, invisible from land and as unique as the one surrounding the village.
Day trips from Cadaqués
Cadaqués, a starting point. Cadaqués is a destination in itself, but its location lets you discover very different landscapes without changing accommodation. In little more than an hour you can go from the rocks and cliffs of Cap de Creus to the wetlands of the Empordà plain; from a Romanesque monastery to a surrealist city; from a medieval village to the remains of an ancient Greek city by the sea.
Flora of Cadaqués
A landscape sculpted between rock and the tramuntana wind. Some places are defined by their forests, others by their rivers or great green expanses. In Cadaqués, by contrast, rock and vegetation share the leading role.
Fauna of Cadaqués
Between the cliffs and the depths of the Mediterranean. At first sight, the rugged, windswept landscape around Cadaqués might seem an unfavourable place for animal life. The reality is almost the opposite.
Fishing in Cadaqués. A craft shaped by the sea
The geography of Cap de Creus has always shaped the way of fishing. It is a coast of rock, narrow coves, cliffs, tramuntana wind and very varied seabeds. Here, traditional fishing has above all been a small-scale craft, practised with small boats and gear adapted to the species and to the features of the coastline.
Salvador Dalí and Cadaqués: a landscape turned into art
There are artists who find a place to work, and there are others who end up belonging to the landscape that surrounds them. Salvador Dalí and Cadaqués are part of this second story.
The ants of Cadaqués
Following in the footsteps of Salvador Dalí Strolling through the streets of Cadaqués, every now and then small brass plaques with ants appear. They are not a mere decorative element. They are part of the Dalí Route, an itinerary that invites us to discover Cadaqués through the places that were part of the life, the friendships, the memories and the creative universe of Salvador Dalí.
Between two lighthouses
Saying goodbye to the year and welcoming the rising sun in Cadaqués There are places that invite us to celebrate. And there are others that, on top of that, help us give meaning to the moments. Cadaqués can be one of those places.
Cadaqués: A Journey That Often Begins Before You Arrive
Cadaqués attracts visitors with an attentive, sensitive eye, people who do not come only to rest by the sea, but also to discover what makes this town such a singular place. Art, architecture, landscape and history are an inseparable part of its identity.
El Colmado de Cadaqués: a façade with memory
El Colmado de Cadaqués: a façade with memory that has reached television In the heart of Cadaqués' old town, on Carrer del Doctor Callís, stands a façade that is hard to miss. Its intense red colour, wooden shop windows and large sign reading COLMADO have made this small shop one of the most recognisable images of the village streets.
Just like home: when everything fits
There are places where simply arriving is enough to feel that something shifts. The pace slows, your gaze opens and everything feels simpler. This is the feeling we want to convey at the Riba Pitxot apartments: that of finding a comfortable, natural and welcoming space, where every detail accompanies without imposing itself.

Ribapitxot, Cadaqués all year round
Cadaqués doesn’t end when summer ends. With the arrival of autumn and winter, the rhythm of the village grows calmer, the light takes on new nuances and the landscape recovers a stillness that is hard to find elsewhere. The sound of the sea, the clean air and the singular energy of this corner of the Mediterranean create the perfect setting to switch off from the city, restore your balance and make room for new ideas.
GUIDE TO BEACHES AND COVES
The Cadaqués coastline combines town beaches, small pebble coves and wild corners within the Cap de Creus area. Not all sources define each beach in the same way, so some lengths may vary depending on the exact point of measurement.
Cadaqués at Night
As the sun disappears behind the mountains and the light turns golden, Cadaqués begins a slow transformation.
The Modern Architecture of Cadaqués

Cadaqués: Colours of Identity
In Cadaqués, the white façades and grey stone create a bright yet understated backdrop against which doors, windows, shutters, balconies and ceramic details introduce numerous touches of colour. Deep greens, intense blues, reds, burgundies and earthy tones appear throughout the streets and along the seafront, enriching the architecture without disrupting the overall harmony.
