Portixol’s Mooring

Explore the Charm of Portixol’s Mooring Post in Cadaqués

The four mooring posts of Portixol stand as vivid reminders of the ancient port constructions that adorned the bay of Cadaqués as early as the first third of the 19th century, and they still stand tall today. These remnants from a bygone era, when the maritime trade of Cadaqués thrived, are colloquially referred to as “pilons.”

These structures were complemented by stakes and other small mooring posts driven into the mainland, especially along the current promenade of Platja Gran, many of which, sadly, have disappeared over time.

Explore these historic mooring posts in Portixol and let yourself be transported to a rich and vibrant past when maritime activity brought life to the shores of Cadaqués. A visual and tangible reminder of the golden age of this charming coastal town that invites you to delve into its fascinating maritime history.
