The Dalí Triangle: An Artistic Journey through the Costa Brava and Salvador Dalí's Birthplace 

In addition, it’s possible to explore his birthplace, located in the center of Figueres, where visitors can learn about the place where one of surrealism’s greatest exponents was born and raised. Near the museum, Bocam restaurant in Figueres is a recommended culinary stop, offering local products in a cozy setting. With its modern touch and seasonal ingredients, this restaurant is ideal for Dalí Theatre-Museum visitors looking for an authentic Catalan culinary experience.

Púbol: Gala Dalí Castle

The third point of this “Dalí Triangle” is the Castle of Púbol in this small medieval village. Dalí purchased this 14th-century fortress as a gift for his wife, Gala, who lived there until her death in 1982. This residence was a sanctuary for Gala, a place of peace and retreat that Dalí decorated in his distinctive style. Now a museum, the castle has a more sober and melancholic atmosphere than his other spaces. It houses Dalí’s works, sculptures, and spectacular gardens with sculptural elephants, where surrealism meets medieval romance. It is also the place where Gala is buried, in a crypt in the basement that Dalí transformed into her sanctuary upon her death.

To end the day in Púbol, a stop at nearby Mas Pou, a Catalan cuisine restaurant in the village of Palau-Sator, just a few kilometers away, is worthwhile. This charming establishment offers specialties such as oven-roasted free-range chicken and traditional regional cured meats, served in a cozy, rustic setting. This restaurant is perfect to conclude the journey with the authentic flavors of the Costa Brava.
