It is the easternmost town in Catalonia and the Alt Empordà. The municipality occupies most of the east coast of the peninsula of Cap de Creus. Isolated by the Pení mountains from the rest of the Alt Empordà.
A series of geological, architectural and environmental elements make up the characteristic image of Cadaqués: the gray slate, the olive trees and the green scrub, the terraces made with dry walls of great perfection that climb up to the ridges and, above all, the white houses. The town of Cadaqués, located at the bottom of the bay of the same name, is facing the sea and isolated from the interior by the mountain of the Pení and the Puig dels Bufadors, which encircle the territory. From es Baluard, the town opens on both sides, forming two large curves over the bay, followed by the shore. These sectors, to the west (from the middle of the Llané Gran) and to the east (to the back of the houses on Carrer de Colom) of the old town, are, together with this, also included in the scope of the set. historical.
The municipality of Cadaqués extends to the eastern end of the Cap de Creus peninsula, the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, on land cut irregularly along the final slopes of the Sierra de Prades, which when it reaches the sea, they form a very rugged coastline, with small beaches.
The old town, which was walled (the portal is still preserved, whitewashed), occupies a rocky hill at the top of which rises the characteristic and white church of Santa Maria, and extends to the sea level, to the cove of the Llané Gran. A series of narrow and steep streets and alleys, paved with slabs and slate pebbles, and small squares form the architectural ensemble of the old town of Cadaqués.
