This was surrealist Salvador Dalí's only fixed abode, the place in which he usually lived and worked up till 1982. He created this house little by little over the course of 40 years, and described it "like a true biological structure … each new pulse in our life has its own new cell, a room." It's a maze-like structure with narrow corridors and is packed with appropriately quirky carpets, dried flowers, velvet upholstery, antique furniture, stuffed animals, and furniture. All the windows looking on to Portlligat Bay are different shapes and sizes, and two paintings by Dalí are found in the house. Famous friends visited, like poet Federico García Lorca and filmmaker Luis Buñuel. The house forms part of the "Dalí triangle" that includes the Teatre Museu Dalí at Figueres and the castle at Púbol. Tour groups are restricted to eight people, and reservations are mandatory.
