This museum is likely unlike any other you’ve visited! It’s a journey into Dali’s surreal world of imagination. This masterpiece, “the biggest surrealist monument ever made,” was entirely designed and decorated by Dali himself, offering a walk through his life. It promises to be an unforgettable experience. After an insightful commentary from your expert guide in the morning, you’ll have plenty of free time to soak in the unique atmosphere at your own pace.
• Figueres - We spend the morning in this charming city near the French border, with a history dating back to the Middle Ages when it was founded in the 9th century.
