THEATER-MUSEUM DALI IN FIGUERES
Be prepared to wait in line – but it’s worth it!
I have to admit: I wasn’t a Dalí fan before the visit. But this museum offers more than just ‘melting clocks’!
In Figueres you can get to know the other Dalí! While some of the works on display here go in the direction of ‘stray’, these only make up a small part of the collection. I really liked the other works. You can find the ‘dark’ side of Dalí, the funny and the playful. In addition, the building is beautifully remodeled and HUGE!
Despite the size, it was very crowded in almost all rooms – so if you are shy of people, you should stay outside.
My conclusion: You anti-Dali’s out there – visit the museum and you will change your mind! And the Dalí lovers will like it anyway.

The house can only be visited with appointment…
I must have overlooked this small but important fact. When I finally got to Portlligat, of course I couldn’t visit the Dalí house.
But once a day, there is a timeslot for those who don’t know. However, this was far too far away in terms of time, so unfortunately I did not have the pleasure of visiting the house.
But: just seeing the house from the outside, the forecourt and this small bay was worth it. And I know for next time! And now you too.
Addendum: I was smarter on my second Cadaques/Portlligat visit 😉
With the reservation, you take part in a guided tour. The inside of the house has been completely redesigned in Dalí’s style. With special acoustic rooms or a special construction for his painting workshop. Very interesting!
Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to upload pictures here – but you can take some: but only for private purposes…

Castel of GALA
IN PUBOL
Unfortunately, I haven’t been to Púbol yet, but I would still like to include it in the Dalí series.
This is a medieval castle that Dalí converted to make a mausoleum for his wife Gala. The house and the garden are both romantic and somewhat mysterious – enchanted. It has been a museum since 1996.
