He is one of our most international genius. Even during Franco’s dictatorship, when Spain was isolated at there was no cultural life, the painter Salvador Dal\u00ed i Dom\u00e8nech<\/strong>, obtained fame and recognition. His eccentric personality and his innate sense of marketing helped to put Cadaqu\u00e9s<\/strong>, Figueres<\/strong>, Port Lligat<\/strong> or la Costa Brava<\/strong> at the top of the Catalan tourist destination during the sixties and the seventies.<\/p>\n

Today, twenty-six years after his death, the brand \u201cDal\u00ed\u201d is still working in the cultural market. Barcelonina has created the\u00a0<\/strong>Dal\u00ed Experience<\/a> to unveil the life<\/strong> of this extravagant artist discovering the places which have become a sanctuary for those admiring his work and his life. Let’s discover it!<\/p>\n

Figueres\u00a0<\/span>\"museo-dali-figueres<\/a><\/h4>\n

This is small village where the Theater-Museum Dal\u00ed<\/strong> is located in the old Theater of the city, which after the Civil War was in ruins. It was Dal\u00ed himself who chose it as a house for his heritage, this way he’ll be tied forever to the place who saw him born and die. The building is crowned by gigantic eggs, it houses paintings<\/strong> and sculptures<\/strong> which escape to any conventional stereotype.
\nThe word \u201cTheater\u201d into the building name offers a very good lead about one of Dali’s creative concept: the scenography.<\/p>\n

Castell de P\u00fabol\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

In 1968, Salvador Dal\u00ed bought a castle built in the XI century<\/strong> and a church form the XIV century. The restored following his particular ideas and converted it in a magnificent house as a present<\/strong> to his muse, Gala<\/strong>, who used it as a private residence until her dead, in 1982. Some iconic images<\/strong> like the blue Cadillac or the elephant-giraffe sculptures were taken in P\u00fabol. The legend says that Dal\u00ed only visited Gala under a handwritten invitation.<\/p>\n

Port Lligat (Cadaqu\u00e9s)<\/span>\"Port<\/a><\/h4>\n

This is were Dal\u00ed created his home<\/strong> with his wife and muse, Gala. This is an exceptional location and inside their home, Dal\u00ed created a personal universe<\/strong> to work in as well as the perfect scene for parties and performances. Some of the guests were names like Mia Farrow, Amanda Lear, Walt Disney, John Lenon, Andy Warhol, Rachel Welch or Francoise Hardy. A whole universe speaking about art in the XX century. A must see!<\/p>\n

And to rest our minds, a nice stroll around Cadaqu\u00e9s<\/strong>, the most charming village in the Costa Brava area<\/strong>. Dal\u00ed was not the only artist who appreciated it: there are plenty of artist who have chosen it as residence. And if you love nature and wonderful landscapes, the Natural Parc of Cap de Creus<\/strong>. You might know that the capes look like the end of the world but knew ones are ahead, in the horizon. See you soon, Barcelonauts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
