madridman, its on the costa brava very near the french border. dali spent his childhood summers there. later he lived there as an adult. many of his early works are landscapes of cadaques. they're done in a certain fusion of picasso-like cubism and french impressionism. i've personally never been this part of spain, however i just spoke with an old friend who was there in 1997. she told me she took a bus from figueres(dali's birthplace), which she reached via barcelona. from what she told me the trip is roughly an hour and a half from figueres as its on a winding isolated road. according to her its sweet and picturesque and has the very definite feel of france rather than spain.
