Museums out of Barcelona

To do something different on Friday you could go to Figueres to see Dali museum. Dalí has been one of the most extravagant and important painters in Spain, he was a surrealist, and his paintings are very strange. You will like the museum. He has got other museums, one in Pubol, and you can also visit his house in Port LLigat, next to Cadaques. You will love this towns in the Creus Cape.

Salvador Domingo Philip Jacinto Dalí Domenech was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueras, Gerona. Dali has done big works of art which an be admired in one of his 3 museums placed in Portlligat (cap of creus), in Pubol and in Figueres.

The medieval castle of Púbol – during the 1970s the residence of the painter's wife and at the beginning of the 1980s his own – has since 1996 been the Gala Dalí Castle museum-house. Gala was Dali's lover, and his muse. More information in this site:
