Take a journey into the surrealist mind of Catalan artist Salvador Dalí on this 10-hour tour which visits the places that helped shape his life and creative vision. Visit Dalí's birthplace Figueres, now home to his eponymous museum, before heading to the charming village of Cadaqués, where the artist spent many summer holidays as a child. Finally, see a more intimate side of Dalí in Port Lligat, a tiny fishing cove where the artist built a house and created some of his most important works.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Start this tour directly from your hotel or apartment in Barcelona city. We come to pick you up, so please be sure to let us know exactly where you are staying. Enjoy an overview of Barcelona city along the route, pass by Catalunya Square, Barcelona Cathedral, Passeig de Gracia and the Gaudi Houses, such as the Batllo and the Pedrera, and many other highlights.
2.
As soon as you leave Barcelona city, you will head to the first destination of the day. Enjoy the beautiful countryside while driving to Figueres, Dalí’s birthplace, only fifteen kilometres away from the Mediterranean Sea, at the foot of the Pyrenees and surrounded by three natural parks. You'll be fascinated by the Dalí Theatre-Museum, both inside and outside, and by the vibrant lifestyle of this small town. Explore the streets where Dalí spent his early years, as well as some of the places he frequented as an adult.
3.
Dali wanted to leave a mark on his own native city and decided to built the Dali Theatre-Museum upon the ruins of the old municipal theatre. This present that Dali gave to the city is considered as the largest work of surrealist art in the world. Plunge deep into the painter's creative mind by visiting the museum and experiencing a comprehensive collection of the peculiar exhibitions. Get prepared to be amazed by this inspiring piece of art that will definitely mark your day.
4.
Dalí Joyas is a permanent exhibition of the Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueres (Girona). The exhibition, which shows the jewels that Dalí designed between 1941 and 1979, includes the thirty-seven jewels of gold and precious stones from the Owen Cheatham collection, two jewels made later, and the twenty-seven drawings and sketches that Salvador Dalí made to design the jewels.
5.
Continue the tour and drive through an incredible scenery full of colors, where the sea and the Pyrenees mountains collide. Arrive in Cadaqués and get enchanted by this picturesque little town, shaped by its emblematic white houses and surrounded by a colorful and relaxing landscape.
6.
Cadaques is located in the protected territory of the natural park of Cap de Creus, a natural park, located at the most northeastern point of the Iberian Peninsula. It was the first marine-terrestrial park in Catalonia and protects a large part of the peninsula of Cape Creus. Between land and the sea, Cap de Creus is a space of great beauty, endowed with a unique geological configuration, with structures and outcrops that form a unique set in the world.
7.
Continue your tour to discover Port Lligat, a small Spanish Mediterranean town in the municipality of Cadaqués, located in a cove of Cape Creus. Salvador Dalí was enchanted by the calmness of this village that decided to settle his own house in this magic corner of the Cap de Creu Natural Park. Get captivated by the beautiful natural light and the colorful landscapes that inspired the artist. We are pretty sure that you will not need the advice of your passionate guide to be able to recognize this house from far away. Have a look at the famous silver statues on the roof of probably one of the most peculiar house you will ever visit in your life.

Good and informative and Dalí museum would not be as good without Vincent’s knowledge and expertise. We enjoyed the trip and would recommend it

Had a great experience with our guide, Matt. Very personable, lots of passion for Barcelona and Catalunya, excellent driver, and full of information! The tour allowed for the perfect balance of having a guide but also being able to separate and explore on your own.

The hotel pick up and drop off was super convenient, especially for such a long day of travel. I also love the small group sizes.

This is the absolute best way to experience Dalí!

Miguel was great! He did an excellent job explaining the importance of Dali works! It was a very long day and he made it enjoyable.

I do have some suggestions for the company though:
-larger van for more space to spread out, felt very cramped and some people who came together couldn’t sit next to each other
-there was no where to get water/snacks at Dali house which is at the end of trip, would have been nice to be told this so we could prepare for it
-letting us know about toilet situation so could plan better

These suggestions are more for the company, tour operator Miguel was great!

Miguel was the best! He gave us a tour of the Dali museum in Figueres (unlike some who just drop you off), and I found him to be fun and friendly and knowledgeable about Dali. Then we went to Cadaques where we first spent time in the fishing village/beach with its clean water and tons of restaurants dotted along the water. Me and my husband sat at a restaurant overlooking the water with an ice cold glass of Sangria. Miguel picked us up and onto Dali’s home in Caraques. The museum and his home complimented each other to round out the tour. I’m writing this review while traveling on the long and winding road back after a very satisfying day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in Dali. Miguel is first rate and would recommend him as well.

Joaquin and Vincent were amazing guides, Vincent told us everything he knows about the Dali and gave us an amazing tour at the museum, guiding us on what to look for and details that we would definetely miss if it were not for him.
I thought it was gonna be a super tiring tour but it wasn’t, at the road we’ve stopped both on the way there and when coming back to Barcelona, which really helped.
I would definetely suggest actually making the tour an hour longer so that the lunch break can take place in Cadaques, a cute little beach with restaurants all over the shore that seemed really nice.
I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are into Dali’s work but doesn’t know much about his life - Vincent knows everything, he gave us all the tea and that was awesome.
Lastly, I was solo and was a little bit fearful I might feel left out in someway but that dind’t happen at all since Vincent made sure everyone was comfortable, made conversation with all of us and integrated the group.

Vincent was absolutely great! Not only was he knowledgeable of Dali and his life but was able to keep us all individually engaged and intrigued while learning. Dali's home town was also very beautiful. Joaquin, our driver, was also great and friendly. We had an incredible experience even with it being a long journey.
