Salvador Dalí House-Museum
In Portlligat we find what was Salvador Dalí's permanent home from 1930 until 1982, the year his wife Gala died.
The house has a labyrinthine structure and is divided into three areas: the workshop, the outdoor spaces and the most intimate and private part of the house. No two rooms are the same; they all have characteristic elements, but they share surrealism as a common denominator.
Among the most important rooms are the workshop and the Oval room, which were the spaces most used by Dalí and his wife Gala. The workshop still conserves easels, brushes, solvents and other tools used by the brilliant painter.
The Salvador Dalí House-Museum is located in the cove of Portlligat, a beautiful natural spot with different services such as restaurants, accommodation and shops.

Salvador's Dalí legacy
Portlligat is a village located on the Cap de Creus and belongs to Cadaqués. Due to its good location, this coastal spot became the main base for many fishermen in Cadaqués. Nowadays, Portlligat is mainly a tourist area, with two hotels and several businesses aimed at visitors.
As well as having a very pleasant beach, Portlligat is also home to the Salvador Dalí House-Museum, a space that can be visited and which was the place of residence of the brilliant painter from Empordà. The house was designed and decorated by Dalí himself, and is one of the spaces that make up the Dalinian Triangle, together with the Dalí Museum in Figueres and the Palau de Púbol.
