Cadaques

On Thursday we borrowed Ramon's car again and took a road over the mountains to Cadaques which is probably the most beautiful town in the area. I have to mention I quite like driving in the mountains, it can be bit scary but it is definitely much better than sitting on the passenger seat. Ramon's car is very old and not very well looked after, half of the time the speedometer refuses to work which only leaves us to hope that they won't receive any speeding tickets. 

Cadaques

Cadaques is known as the home of Salvatore Dali. We also walked up to his house which now is a very expensive museum. It was too expensive for us to buy a ticket and see how Dali used to live and we could only guess that as a painter he probably didn't even spend that much time inside the house but sitting in his lovely garden surrounded by relaxing views to the sea and mountains. And also Brian has told us some interesting stories about Dali as they used to know each other. That's all we needed to know about this famous 20th century artist.

Cadaques is much more than the home of Dali, it is a stunning town by the clear blue sea framed by mountains. Most of the houses there are white with sky-blue window shutters and doors leaving the overall feel of the town very clean and bright. It is typically Spanish to have the white and blue contrast but to see a whole town in that same style is quite rare.

We finally feel like we have seen most of the local area and therefor we are heading to Barcelona tomorrow. It has been very nice to spend some time with Brian, Ramon and Carlos. Through the many customers we have met we have been offered an insight into how the other half live. Brian has spoilt us with the endless dinners and unlimited drinks at his shop. We are very lucky and grateful.
