Sights of Cadaqués

The cove of Platja des Calders is a quiet spot not far from the Museum-House of Salvador Dalí in Port Lligat, renowned for the grey tones of its pebbly beach and its quiet, clear waters.

This tiny cove (just 25 meters long and 5 meters wide) had served as the base of a scientific project studying dolphin therapy up until 1993. After the project had closed down, the Platja des Calders cove has returned to its quiet state — in the off-season, you aren’t likely to encounter any other visitors.

The easiest way to Platja des Calders is along a narrow path with the coordinates of (42.286723, 3.294986), next to house №10 on Carrer de Llança.

Casa Serinyana, also known as “The Blue House” (Casa Blaua), is an Art Nouveau house built in Cadaqués at the beginning of the 20th century by the architect Salvador Sellés for the wealthy Serinyana family.

The Serinyana house has three floors and an attic. A unique feature of the house is the connection of the main building to a small warehouse located on the other side of the alleyway by the town quay. To unite these two very different buildings, the architect put a terrace on top of the storage unit and connected it to the second floor of the living quarters by throwing a small bridge over the alleyway.
