Salvador Dalí House, Portlligat
Casa-Museu Salvador Dalí
The labyrinthine fishermen's cottage where Dalí and Gala lived for more than 40 years, with white walls topped by giant eggs, a polar bear specimen and a sun-filled maze of rooms.
From 1930 onward, Dalí gradually connected several fishermen's cottages in Portlligat, expanding them into a home and studio. He lived there until Gala died in 1982. Visits are conducted in groups of about eight. You'll see the studio, the library, the bedroom with a mirror that faces the sunrise, the entrance hall with its polar bear specimen, and the roof with its giant eggs, pool and lip-shaped sofa. Entry is by reservation only, with tickets costing about €15–20. The house closes for part of the winter. It is a 20-minute walk from Cadaqués.
