Cadaqués and the Dalí House in Portlligat

We begin our adventure in the charming coastal town of Cadaqués, renowned for its white houses and cobblestone streets that exude a bohemian atmosphere. In the heart of Cadaqués, just a few steps from the Mediterranean Sea in the Portlligat area, is our first stop: the Salvador Dalí House-Museum.

More than just a house, Dalí’s house reflects the artist’s creative genius. He spent much of his life and created many of his masterpieces in the Portlligat house. The Dalí Museum in Cadaqués offers you an intimate view of the painter's surreal world. You can explore the rooms where he lived and worked, filled with his personal belongings and artworks.

Remember to purchase your tickets for the Salvador Dalí House in Cadaqués in advance to avoid long queues and make the most of your visit to this impressive place. The Dalí House-Museum is a cultural treasure you cannot miss on your Dalí Route along the Costa Brava.

Figueres: Dalí Museum and Salvador Dalí Birthplace

In the city of Figueres, you will find two essential stops on the Dalí Route. The first is the Dalí Museum, a true gem that houses the largest and most diverse collection of the artist's works. Here, you can immerse yourself in Dalí’s surrealism through his paintings, sculptures, and jewellery. The building itself is a masterpiece, designed by Dalí to surprise and challenge the visitor’s expectations.

The second stop in Figueres is Dalí’s birth house. Recently renovated and opened to the public, this place offers a more intimate view of the artist's origins. Here, you can appreciate how the painter's early years were spent and how his family environment may have influenced his artistic development. Each room is filled with history and charm, allowing you to get closer to understanding who Salvador Dalí really was.

Both the Dalí Museum in Figueres and the painter’s birthplace are must-see visits on the Dalí Route. We recommend setting aside sufficient time to explore them at your own pace and fully enjoy everything they have to offer.

Púbol and the Gala Dalí Castle

The final stop on our Dalí Route adventure is Púbol and the Gala Dalí Castle. This place was initially intended as a tranquil refuge for Gala, Dalí’s muse and wife, and eventually became a love gift from the artist to his beloved. Here, you can explore the most intimate and personal corners of this romantic and artistic relationship.

The castle is a restored medieval gem by Dalí himself, who devoted much of his time to decorating every corner with surreal details that reflect his love for Gala. From giant elephants in the garden to a dressing room full of dresses specially designed for her, each piece is a testament to the painter’s talent and creativity.

In addition to the castle, you can enjoy the beautiful surrounding gardens. A stroll through these will allow you to admire the surreal sculptures that Dalí placed throughout the grounds, creating a magical and unparalleled atmosphere.

Visiting Púbol on the Dalí Route is a unique experience not to be missed if you are on the Costa Brava. Remember that the schedule may vary depending on the season, so we recommend checking this before your visit.
