Exploring Salvador Dalí’s House in Portlligat

While I was visiting Cadaqués a few weeks ago I made a stop by the home of Salvador Dalí, located in Portlligat. He first moved in around 1930, when it was a small fisherman’s shack right near the beach. Over the next forty years though, he began to purchase the surrounding properties, eventually building himself quite an idyllic compound where he could paint and and hold exquisite parties.

It was interesting to look around the space he and his wife Gala had created together. I didn’t quite know what to expect as his work is quite surreal. In reality though, I found the space quite interesting and beautiful in a sort of hodge-podge kind of way. They had many fascinating belongings, and ultimately, created a very idyllic getaway to live their lives along the peaceful seaside. I hope you enjoy this little tour of things I found interesting in their space.
