THE ESSENTIALS IN 30 SECONDS

How should you choose an area?

At Cadaqués, kayaks thread between the rocky inlets of Es Sortell, Portlligat and Cap de Creus. Mineral headlands, white houses and narrow passages make this markedly different from Catalonia’s broad beaches.

The centre is easiest on foot. Confirm the meeting point and authorised launch with the operator: parking is scarce at busy times and some coves are reached only by trail.
