Artist Salvador Dalí often visited here in his childhood, and later kept a home here. Other notable artists, including Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró also spent time here.

Long a sleepy fishing village, Cadaqués is now a tourism destination. Although it has about 2,000 permanent residents, sometimes up to 10 times that number of visitors are staying here.
