Why is there magic in the Cadaqués sunset?

In this photograph in La Vanguardia Readers' Photos of the sunset in Cadaqués we see several of the elements together that give a special magic to the sunset in this town on the Costa Brava.

In this image we see how the last rays of the day's sun merge with the rolling waves and Mediterranean reflections, as well as the traditional boats and white houses.

Cadaqués is one of the most emblematic towns on the Costa Brava, with a past linked to the artist Salvador Dalí and lucky enough to be located next to Cap de Creus. The origin of the toponym is Cap de Quers or Cap d'Aques, which translates as "cape of rocks".

The landscape, with the boats in the background, transports us to the maritime atmosphere that prevails in this part of the Girona coast. In fact, Cadaqués' own fishing ordinances have been known since the 16th century.

Cadaqués is the easternmost town on the Iberian Peninsula. Its municipal term occupies most of the east coast of the Cap de Creus massif. Isolated by the mountains of Puig de Paní and Puig de Bufadors from the rest of the Empordà, it lives facing the sea.
