Itinerary

1

Explore Catalunya

8.15am - You will join your tour at our office, which is right across from the world famous Palau de la Musica. You will meet your guide and have an introduction as to what to expect during the day. Your tour begins at 8.30am, but we always recommend arriving 15 minutes before.

2

Eixample

8.30am - You will leave Barcelona though the Example district of town. As you head out of the city, your guide will give you a brief history of Barcelona, before letting you sit back and relax on the 90 minute drive to Figueres.

3

Dali Theatre-Museum

10.00am All Year Long Schedules: You will arrive at the world famous Dalí Museum-Theatre in Figueres, the birthplace of Dalí, where you will be taken straight past the queues inside. Step inside the surreal world of Salvador Dalí and find a museum like none other. Dalí wanted visitors to see his massive collection as a ‘whole’ work, and for this reason he wanted no catalogues and refused to have his works placed in chronological or subject order. Inside is a world of fantasy mixed with architecture mixed with paintings and sculptures. It’s a complete surrealistic experience.

4

Cadaques

1.00pm REST OF YEAR SCHEDULE September 1st - June 30th: After a morning discovering the art of Dalí, you will head to the beautiful coastal village of Cadaqués. Famous for its white washed Mediterranean houses, narrow shady streets, and sandy bay, this is one of the most picturesque villages on the Costa Brava. But what really stands out for many people is the dramatic drive there, which offers some of the best views in the whole of Catalunya. This is the perfect place for lunch. In the afternoon you will travel just a few minutes up the coast to the even smaller village of Port Lligat.

5

Salvador Dali House

3.30pm REST OF YEAR SCHEDULE September 1st - June 30th: Port Lligat is where Dalí sought the peace and quiet that truly inspired him. This stunning little bay is where he first built then enlarged a simple fisherman's cottage into a magnificent and unique home. You will have the chance to visit inside this unusual building. His studio looks as if he has just stepped out for a stroll, and thanks to the careful way it has been maintained, it's easy to image he is still living in the house. Your guide will regale you with stories about his life there and the, share some secrets about his unusual marriage to his beloved Gala. NOTE: Your tickets will have been pre booked by the office. If you want to take advantage of this, please pay the guide during the day.

6

Sant Marti d'Empuries

1.45pm SUMMER SCHEDULE July 1st - Sep 30th We arrive at the quaint medieval coastal town of Sant Martí in plenty of time for you to enjoy a typical local lunch, or perhaps grab a sandwich and enjoy some beach time in one of the prettiest villages on the Costa Brava.

7

Castillo Gala Dali

4.00pm SUMMER SCHEDULE JULY 1st - SEPTEMBER 30th: You will arrive in the tiny villages of Pubol where you will have the chance to explore the curious castle that Dalí bought for his wife, and made it her sanctuary. Entry price is not included in the ticket price, but we will make pre reservations for all who want to visit inside. Not to Miss!

8

Arco di Trionfo

6.30-7.00pm - We end the day by the Arc de Triumf, which is just a few minutes walk from our office. From here, you can easily take the metro or a taxi back to your hotel. Otherwise, your guide will be more than happy to make some recommendations of where to have dinner.
