Cala Nans Lighthouse

The Cala Nans lighthouse is located at the end of a coastal path that begins in the center of Cadaqués and winds between cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation.

This route, ideal for walking, offers spectacular panoramas and a full immersion in nature. The lighthouse, surrounded by silence and sea, is a perfect place to watch the sunset with endless views of the Mediterranean and the rugged terrain of Cap de Creus.

It is a place that transmits calm, beauty and authenticity, ideal for disconnecting and enjoying the natural and wild essence of the Costa Brava in its purest state.

Cadaqués seafront promenade

The Cadaqués promenade is one of the most emblematic corners of the town, a path that winds along the bay, flanked by fishing boats, rock formations and the characteristic white houses with colorful shutters.

It is ideal for a walk at any time of day, but especially at dawn or dusk, when the soft sunlight transforms the scene into a living painting. The reflection of the town on the water, the sounds of the sea and the peaceful atmosphere invite you to enjoy a moment of calm and contemplation.

A perfect place to connect with the Mediterranean spirit of Cadaqués.

Old town

The old town of Cadaqués retains all the charm of a traditional fishing village. It is a veritable labyrinth of narrow, cobbled streets that wind between white houses of Mediterranean architecture, with brightly colored doors and windows and bougainvillea adorning the facades.

Walking through it is like taking a trip back in time: every corner hides a story, an artistic detail or an unexpected view of the sea. The silence is only broken by the sound of the waves or the quiet footsteps of visitors.

An environment full of light and authenticity that captivates and invites you to let yourself be carried away without haste.
