Cadaques

Have been looking forward to seeing Cadaques since planning the trip and was well worth the wait. Its another white washed village with terracotta rooves and blue or green window shutters, located in calm bay with a hill behind covered in olive trees. Also a bit of a Brit hang out, and image summer here would be pretty full on, but it was lovely today. We decided to hire a motorcycle scooter, and set off exploring all the little bays and coves around Cadaques up to Port Lligat. This is definately the best way to see this area, as there´s not many cars and the narrow windy hilly streets are so much full on a scooter!! A couple of times I had to close my eyes as Kev had it wound up to about 50 and was a little scary but the freedom of having the scooter was so much better than on foot. Anyway, bought some baguettes, cheese and chorizo and found a bay to enjoy lunch. Then decided to go to Port Lligat to see Salvador Dali´s house. This was magnificent, especially because it was guided and only let 8 people in at a time. It was built on a hill and was full of some wacky stuff, he was clearly obsessed with his wife Gala, and I reckon they may have had some pretty wierd parties from the photos we´ve seen, but it was really great, and we loved this day.

Booked tickets on the internet to go to Majorca Monday for 5 days until we fly out. Thinking about hiring a motorhome and staying in that, but will figure it out later.

Beautiful Cadaques
