Riba Pitxot: history, origin of the name and curiosities
Between Port Alguer, Es Llaner and the memory of the Pichot family, this small maritime route concentrates a surprising part of the artistic, urban and maritime history of Cadaqués.
The Casino of Cadaqués: from stately home to the village's parlour
Some buildings end up telling a town's story almost without meaning to. The Casino of Cadaqués, home to the Societat l'Amistat, is a good example. Facing the sea on Plaça del Doctor Trèmols, its white façade, iron balconies and large windows have been part of the village's everyday landscape for generations. But before becoming a casino, café, meeting place and cultural centre, the building had been the private home of a well-to-do Cadaqués family.
The Pichot family: art, music and Cadaqués
When we talk about the Pichots and Cadaqués, we often think of Ramon Pichot or Antoni Pitxot. But behind these two painters was a much larger family of musicians, singers, painters and creators who played an important part in Catalan cultural life from the late 19th century and much of the 20th.
Cadaqués in black and white. Memory of a village by the sea
Some places change with time and others that, despite transforming, keep a very particular way of being. Cadaqués belongs to the latter.
Santa Maria de Cadaqués
At the highest point of the old town, among narrow cobbled streets and whitewashed houses, stands the church of Santa Maria de Cadaqués. Its white silhouette is an inseparable part of the village's image and, from the square around it, one of the most beautiful views of the bay unfolds, with es Cucurucuc and the Cala Nans lighthouse on the horizon.
Anecdotes and remarkable characters of Cadaqués
Cadaqués preserves a legacy shaped by landscape, isolation, artists, and characters unlike those found anywhere else.
