The Quaint village - Cadaques
Large HarborDuring the peak season you may notice numerous boats in the bay. However, there are many people who visit this place by boat and jump into the sea for swimming. Its beach is rough and narrow and thus it is not suitable for swimmers.
The climate is pleasant, thus the bay is not windy as in the other neighboring places.
