Taxi to Cadaqués

Cadaqués is the furthest coastal village we drive to regularly and the most isolated. There is one road in — the GI-614 over the Serra de Rodes from Roses — and it climbs and twists for the last twenty minutes over the Pení pass before dropping into the bay. That road is the reason the village never got developed, and the reason a transfer here needs a driver who has done it before.

The whole journey is about two and a quarter hours: AP-7 north past Girona and Figueres, then the C-260 to Roses and up over the pass. There is no railway. The bus from Barcelona takes the best part of three hours and runs a handful of times a day, so if you land in the evening a car is usually the only way to arrive the same night.

Portlligat, where Dalí’s house stands, is a fifteen-minute walk or a two-minute drive north of the village — we can drop you there directly. Parking inside Cadaqués is genuinely difficult in summer, which is one reason a lot of visitors who have driven it once choose to be driven the next time.
