Private Dali Museum Figueres, Cadaques and Portlligat from Barcelona

Barcelona, Spain

Discover the most intimate and personal Dalí during this private journey through the towns and places that helped shape his life. Your  guide will pick you up in a comfortable minivan, and will assist you in this personalized tour through the idyllic, unique landscapes of the Costa Brava, as you uncover the mysteries and secrets of one of the most highly recognizable Catalan painters, Salvador Dalí.

From Barcelona your expert guide will pick you up at your hotel or apartment in private transport and we head to the birthplace of Dali, Figueres, a small town near the border with France, and one of the three points that make up the so-called "Dalí Triangle". Roam the streets and corners that marked his early years as well as some of his favorite spots he frequented as an adult.

The town of Figueres is also home to what is considered the "largest surrealistic object in the world", Dali Museum, designed by Dalí himself on the ruins of the old municipal theater. Here, you will be able to plunge into the painter's mind, thanks to his most complete collection, on a journey throughout the strangest artifacts imaginable.

You will follow in the footsteps of the artist until get to one of those hidden gems on Costa Brava, Cadaqués. This most easterly of the Iberian Peninsula villages draws a box where the white houses, the sea and the capricious forms of the mountainous terrain merge into a single image. Here, you can walk around its labyrinth center, relax on the waterfront and taste, if you want, the typical cuisine of a traditional fishing village.

Just a mile from Cadaqués, we find Port Lligat, where we will end up completing the triangle of the Catalan genius. In 1930, Dalí decided to fix his residence in this tiny, charming cove, building his house upon a group of fishermen huts. The hut, now converted into a museum, houses the studio where the painter created his most important works. You'll take an intimate tour through the rooms where he lived with his beloved wife, and muse, Gala.

Due to the amount of visitors that the House-Museum of Port Lligat can receive in high season, availability may be limited. However, you will be offered an alternative visit to the Gala-Dalí Castle of Púbol.
