We will depart to Cadaqués, a small town of fishermen located in Alt Empordà, in the province of Girona. It´s a very well-known because Dali used to be on holiday over there. First, we will visit the House-Museum of the painter, the most visited place. We will go over Cadaques Bay forms, the biggest natural port of Catalonia, where many different boats arrives specially in summer time. Its small and narrow streets as well as the typical houses painted in white, make Cadaques a charming and picturesque town. After this special visit, we will go to Roses. The Roses Bay has been a witness, during a long period of time, of different cultures coming from overseas. These different civilizations took root in these lands and left a great heritage that we will enjoy in our visit. The peaceful waters of this natural harbour were already sought after in the times of the Greeks from Rhodes, who set up a commercial colony here. The remains of the Greek city of Rhode, founded in 776 BC., the old Greek district (3rd C. BC), the Roman town and the 11th-century Romanesque-Lombard monastery form part of the layout of the Ciudadela, declared a historic-artistic site. This construction of this military fortification was ordered by the Emperor Carlos V to repel attacks by pirates and corsairs. The Renaissance style of the building can be seen in its curtain walls and sea port. We will have some spare time for a lunch.
After, we will depart to Calonge that has two main areas: Calonge, inland, and Sant Antoni, by the sea. Outstanding in the town are its Medieval castle (12th-13th centuries), Sant Martí Church and Càlcul Street. It dates back to prehistoric times, as can be seen from the dolmens and menhirs in the area. The Roman village of Castel Barri is also important. It is one of the largest archaeological sites from the Roman period. Work began on the castle in the 8th century and it is one of the largest fortresses in the region. The castle, along with the Lloreta and Valentina Towers, are especially outstanding buildings.
