We were met by our guide Pere and driver Alex at our hotel and taken on an extraordinary journey through the Catalan countryside to Port Lligat, the home of Salvador Dali and his wife, Gala. Then we drove to nearby Cadaqués, a picturesque fishing village. Dali’s home is a must if you want an insight into this extraordinary but flawed man. We then drove to Figueres for lunch and a visit to the Dali museum which is a tour de force of the beautiful and outrageous creations of Dali and should not be missed by any art enthusiast. Pere guided us with such tremendous enthusiasm and amazing knowledge and was able to point out fascinating details of Dali’s art work that without his input, would have passed us by. We learnt a great deal about Dali, the man, his art and his importance to the Surrealist movement. Highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky, Pere will be your guide.
