The Salvador Dalí House Museum in Portlligat offers an intimate glimpse into the daily life and creative world of the surrealist master. What began as a simple fisherman's hut in 1930 evolved over four decades into a labyrinthine complex of interconnected rooms, each personally designed by Dalí and his wife Gala. The house is a surreal work of art in itself, with winding corridors, unexpected level changes, and windows meticulously framed to capture views of the serene Portlligat bay. Visitors can explore the artist's studio, private quarters, and the famous "Bear Hall", surrounded by the eclectic objects and taxidermy that fueled his imagination. The preserved interiors feel frozen in time, maintaining the atmosphere of creative isolation Dalí cherished.
