The earlier excursion finishes with a visit to the mediaeval castle of Pubol – during the 1970s the residence of the painter's wife and at the beginning of the 1980s his own. It has, since 1996, been the Gala Dali Castle museum-house. And The Salvador Dali Museum-House in Portligat is an essential visiting place to get to know the painter's universe, which Gala and Dali structured in the form of a labyrinth and decorated over the course of forty years, from 1930 through to the 1970s.

East of Girona, the Medieval castle Dali bought and restored for his beloved wife Gala. The castle itself is a magnificent work of art and provides a rare insight into the lives of this extraordinary couple. Inside, you’ll find Gala’s haute-couture dresses, the couple’s furniture, and paintings and drawings Dali gave to Gala to display on the castle walls. Gala’s remains still lie inside the castle, overlooked by a stuffed giraffe. For more artistic treasures, head north to Dali’s birthplace, Figueres, where you’ll find the Dali Theatre Museum, one of the most visited museums in Spain.
