Your 1-day trip will be unconventional and incredibly exciting. First, you’ll head to the Salvador Dali Museum, which has become a bright accent of the quiet Spanish town of Figueiras. Looking at the exhibits exhibited there, you will be able to slightly open the veil of mystery of Genius, and thanks to the guide’s story, understand what moments of the artist’s life were reflected in his art.
n
A trip to Port Lligat, where the modest family home of the Dali couple is located near the coast, will give you an idea of how reverently and lovingly he treated his beloved wife Gala.
n
Excursion to the theater-museum of Salvador Dalí and Port Lligat will be incredibly exciting, because your guide will tell amazing, sometimes crazy stories from the life of the genius creator, who was and remains for contemporaries Dalí.
n
The best end of the day full of bright impressions will be a transfer to the quiet, cozy, small town of Cadaqués.

A place imbued with the spirit of genius – Salvador Dali Museum
n
The first time you see the museum building, you will realize that everything you have ever seen is boring and ordinary. Executed in surrealistic style, the building of the theater will turn over the consciousness, the usual idea of the correct use of space, colors, decorative elements, and, in fact, in general, understandable for us the idea of design.
n
Behind the walls of such an unusual structure are hidden unique and for many people incomprehensible exhibits, which will want to see as soon as possible:
n
- n
- Salvador Dali’s own works – paintings, bizarre sculptures, furniture. Some of the author’s most interesting works are: “Gala Looking at the Mediterranean Sea, or Portrait of Abraham Lincoln”, “Portrait of Picasso”, “Atomic Leda”, “Illusory Torero” and many more of his interesting works, about which your guide will tell you in detail.
- Without surrealistic exhibits, the museum exposition would rather be like an art gallery. So, among the numerous works here you can see one three-dimensional collage, which became a room-face of Mae West (American actress), and a mind-turning composition with the romantic name “Rain Taxi”.

And Dali was also a passionate collector of beautiful works of famous painters, tried himself as a designer, which is stated by the jewelry on display.

The house that Dali built
n
The excursion will not be limited to visiting one museum. You will go to the most “personal” of all the existing Salvador Dalí museums in Catalonia, the house in Port Lligat. This place for the artist had some sacred meaning, because it was there, in the distant 1929 he first saw Gala. And the fact that at that time she was the wife of the famous French poet Paul Eluard, did not become an obstacle for lovers.
n
A cozy small building on the coast of the Mediterranean cove, most likely, not very much and will not impress with its size, but will leave an indelible trace in the memory of travelers. From afar, it resembles a tiny box. Among the unusual layout, interesting decorations, created by Salvador Dalí himself, the originality of the artist slips through.
n
Here, to this day, the unique atmosphere that filled the walls during the lifetime of their eccentric owners has been preserved. Traveling to this unique house will allow you to get a closer look at the originality of the creator and get to know another Dalinian place, the most unconventional, because tickets to this museum are the hardest to get. When you confirm the tour, the coordinator will buy the tickets for you in advance.

Getting to know non-touristic resort Spain – a trip to Cadaqués
n
A pleasant end of the tourist route – a leisurely walk through the narrow streets of the cozy town of Cadaqués. It will charm you with its landscapes, old buildings, white houses and authentic views.
n
Around 50-70 years it attracted the attention of world stars – musician Mick Jagger, cartoonist Walt Disney, poet Federico Garcia Lorca, painter Pablo Picasso and, of course, our close acquaintance Salvador Dali.
