This is a deep dive into Dali´s art and a walk through his life. We'll draw a full picture with in-depth explanations. We visit the two towns where he grew up so we go to his roots and follow his footsteps. “Figueres”, his birthplace, with the iconic museum and afterwards the town of “Cadaqués”, known as the "Pearl of the Costa Brava", an idyllic Mediterranean-style fisherman´s village, surrounded by a protected nature reserve (Cap de Creus) famous for its geology and unique rocky coastline, an area which fueled Dalí´s imagination. This typical Dalinian scenery will make you feel like you are stuck inside one of his paintings.
We conclude with a visit to Dali´s house-museum at Portlligat, a different experience with a very personal touch.
We only do extra small group tours with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 attendees, for semi-private tours with a personal approach. Pick-up and drop-off always included. All entrance tickets are included, no extra unexpected costs.

This is, most likely, unlike any museum you have ever been to! It's a trip , a living hallucination, we step into Dali's surreal world of imagination. This masterpiece, "the biggest surrealist monument ever made" , was fully designed and decorated by the man himself and offers you a walk through his life. You'll get in-depth commentary from your expert guide in the morning, and after a brief introduction inside the museum you're free to explore, wonder, and get lost in Dalí’s imagination at your own pace. We want to leave room for personal interpretation, something that the artist gave a lot of importance to.
