CATALONIA, GIRONA PROVINCE & CADAQUES (SPAIN)
The Costa Brava forms the most northerly stretch of the coast of Catalonia
and one of the most beautiful in Spain. Right in the heart of Cap de Creus is
Cadaqués, an area set in the unusual natural landscape of the steep hills
that cut across the county of Alt Empordà before falling into the sea in the
form of cliffs. This lovely village with
seagoing routes has excellent beaches
and tranquil coves with clear water.
COURSE TIMETABLE
Salvador Dalí once said in 1920: "I have spent a delightful summer, as always, in the perfect
and dreamy town of Cadaqués. There, alongside the Latin sea, I have been quenched by light
and colour".

draftsman and paints with a high speed of execution. These qualities
are quite apparent in all his paintings, balanced, harmonious and full
of mystery and mood. Born in Zagreb, Croatia, J. Zbukvic emigrated
