I had only been to Cadaqués twice before on cold, rainy days but something about the storied village kept calling me back. I wanted to have more than a few hours to experience this beautiful large cove in the northernmost tip of Spain that had so much colorful and artistic history. Laura's AMAZING house could not have been more perfect and the weather was absolutely beautiful. The best way I can describe being in Laura's house is like having front-row, center seats in the dress circle of the Metropolitan Opera House. The village was bustling as we spent part of the Easter week there. But ascending the steps that connect the house perched above the village and the sea was like arriving in a secret oasis with a post-card view. The house is literally built into the rocks of the hills surrounding the Cala of Cadaqués with three distinct levels and all four bedrooms with the view of the village and the sea. There are a variety of lovely outdoor spaces to eat a meal (barb-b-que area), relax with a drink, practice yoga, or curl up with a good book. We were three generations having a visit and the house was perfect. The large open kitchen, dining room and living room were welcoming and homey. There are a lot of steps but we all managed. Laura also has private parking, which is at a premium in Cadaqués. We took fun excursions to the Dalí house museum in nearby Port Lligat, had an amazing lunch near the Light House in Cap de Creus (the easternmost tip of Spain), and loved strolling the quaint streets of the village and taking in the restaurants, artistic shops and waterfront. It was not quite beach weather yet, but Laura had tips about beaches and the best sites to visit. What a perfect place to have it all in Cadaqués!
