Cadaqués is the most easterly village in Spain situated in Alt Emporda, Girona Province in Catalonia . 

The village occupies a great part of the eastern part of the Cap de Creus range. Isolated by the mountains Cadaques looks toward the Sea. It was  geographically separated  from the rest of the Emporda until the end of the 19^th Century. 

The vineyard which made its wealth in the 18^th Century almost ruined the village with the arrival of the phylloxera at the beginning of the 19^th Century. 

 Paradoxically the isolation of the village became a factor of wealth at the beginning of the 20^th Century, as tourists neglected remote places such as Cadaques, and made of this virgin district a place which is highly appreciated nowadays. 

 The church of the village, Santa Maria , holds an exceptional altar both in size and originality, the pillars of which are sustained by four giants.   

 Salvador Dalí, when he got back from New York , settles in Port-Lligat (close to Cadaques). His presence will drain important personalities such as Federico García Lorca or Pablo Picasso.
