We took a 2 1/2 hour bus ride from the Estación del Norte to Cadaqués. the little coastal village is where Dalí lived and worked for much of his life. Walking around the village and touring his house was very interesting. What a great environment to be creative in, and clearly he WAS creative in his own style.
Here are some photos from the trip there ...
And here are some pictures from the village of Cadaqués ...
We took a twenty minute walk from the main playa across the small isthmus to an adjacent bay where the Casa Dalí is located ... here are a few photos from the walk ...
Then once we reached the peak along the walk we could see the other way toward the north where the bay and Casa Dalí are located (visible to the left foreground) ...
Here is the Casa Dalí ...
We toured the house ... both around the garden and inside ... photos follow.
On the walk back, we encountered the following flowers ...
After having a quick meal we caught a connecting bus to nearby Figueres, the birthplace of Dalí and home of the museum that he designed before his death ...
Naturally being on vacation, all you do is eat, and while eating, you plan where you are going to eat next ... so as soon as we got off the bus from Cadaqués we ate again ...
Here are some additional shots around Figueres ... beginning with La Rambla ...
The walk from La Rambla to the Dalí museum headed up these roads ...
Here are some images from the Dalí museum ...
The Museum is also his tomb - as Dalí is buried there ...

The Rambla looks a lot emptier than the one we walked down in Barcelona! Thanks again for a wonderful time there! Wish I could've gone to see Dali with you, but we can do that next time - what do you say?
