From Barcelona: Personalized Salvador Dalí Costa Brava Tour

2. From Barcelona: Personalized Salvador Dalí Costa Brava Tour

You’ll be picked up by private transport to begin this 10-hour personalized tour through the idyllic landscapes of Costa Brava. Experience the sites important in the life of Salvador Dalí, one of the world’s most important Surrealist painters. Head first to Figueres, a small town near the border with France and one of the points that make up the so-called Dalí Triangle.  Salvador Dalí was born in Figueres and spent his childhood here. Get to know the streets and places that marked his early years as well as some of the places he frequented as an adult. Next, you’ll visit the Dali Museum, called the largest surrealistic object in the world. Designed by the artist himself on the ruins of an old municipal theater, the Museum takes you into the painter's mind via a collection of the strangest artifacts you can imagine. Follow the footsteps of the artist to Cadaqués, one of the hidden gems of the Costa Brava. The easternmost of the villages on the Iberian peninsula features spectacular views of white houses, the sea, and the capricious forms of the mountainous terrain.  Walk around the town center, relax at the waterfront, and enjoy the cuisine of a traditional fishing village. Just a mile from Cadaqués is Portlligat, the last stop on your itinerary. In 1930, Dalí made his home in this tiny, charming cove, building his house from a group of fishermen's huts. It has since been converted into the House Museum as it is the site where the painter created his most important works. Take an intimate tour through the rooms where he lived with his beloved wife and muse, Gala.

What people are saying about Figueres

This was definitely worth the day trip with the family. My two teens and 11 year old equally enjoyed the Dali museum and Girona. Our tour guide, Omid, had wonderful stories to share about the town and region. The Museum was more enjoyable having him explain its history and the work exhibited there. I highly recommend this tour.

The day was wonderful, thanks to Gaspar, our guide. We learned so much from his commentary both during the drive & at the museum & gained a new appreciation for Dali & his art. Highly recommend this tour!!!

We had a great experience with Luis! He was very knowledgeable and helpful. There was a lot of history I wasn’t aware of and he taught us quite abit! I would definitely recommend him for any tour in future.

Our tour guide Matt was perfect. He helped us without being tiresome. The excursion was as long as it was needed without excessive stops or places where you don't have time to see anything.
