Cadaques Blue

Bahcom

This is a story about an art town on the Costa Brava and the people who live there. My infatuation with the place started with a painting, a short visit to meet the artist and five subsequent extended stays over eight years. My goal was to write about this place with its magical light, an irresistible attraction for artists like Dalí, Duchamp and every Surrealist for more than a hundred years. During those visits, I came to know that the village was not just a pretty face, but rather an organic crucible of complex emotions, keenly influenced by physical forces, and those things form the basis for this story. It starts during my last stay in 2008 with the backdrop of the world financial crisis.

So simple, so naïve, so wrong, her reality was not so adorable, but even more compelling.Was this a narcissistic misadventure? I pondered that question and said, no, for the umpteenth time. Writing has always been irresistible to me, those sinuous roots that take me here or there, always another path, always a rush, always a high, always a tear and directly connected to my amygdala. Of course, the effort, though perhaps noble, will come to naught, if there is no product at the end, so I had better keep that in mind. Those were the thoughts that went round in my head, during the cool, quietude of flight
