Portlligat
Portlligat or Port Lligat is a small Mediterranean town in the municipality of Cadaqués (Gerona), located in a cove of the cape of Creus, Spain.
This place is known internationally for being Salvador Dalí's place of residence. In what was your home today you can visit the Salvador Dalí House Museum. Salvador Dalí lived in that house that he designed, a few hours north of Barcelona, in the Costa Brava region. Dalí lived here from 1930 until the death of his wife in 1982, and the somewhat incoherent collection of three fishermen's huts is now a museum that offers a small glimpse into his unique life.
Dalí was quoted as saying that the sun was rising over his bed rather than anywhere else in Spain, since he put his head down towards the easternmost point of Spain (he obviously referred to peninsular Spain. The easternmost point of Spain is on the island of Menorca). He devised an ingenious multiple mirror system so that the first rays of the morning sun would hit him directly in the house.
The orography of Portlligat is characterized by a small bay sheltered from the Mediterranean Sea by a small island, the Island of Portlligat, an image that was immortalized by the Empordà painter in some of his works.
