FIGUERES – THE CITY OF DALÍ

Would you like to complement your visit to the Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres with a tour of his hometown?
 We’ll take a walk through this quiet provincial town and see the house where the future genius was born. That house now hosts a museum dedicated to Dalí’s personal life. Nearby is another building where Dalí lived until he was 25 — until he met his muse, Gala. It was here that a family tragedy unfolded, and from where the young Dalí was expelled by his father.
We’ll visit the church where Dalí was baptized — and later, where his funeral was held. You’ll see the museum that houses his favorite childhood toy, as well as the courtyards and boulevards where a spoiled little boy once played — a boy who would one day make his town world-famous.
You’ll learn Salvador Dalí’s most intimate secrets: why he feared certain insects, why the people of Figueres originally opposed the creation of his museum, why Dalí’s grave was exhumed, and the story of the woman who claims to be his secret daughter.
A tour of Figueres will help you better understand Dalí’s artworks and serves as a perfect complement to your visit to the Surrealist Theatre-Museum.
