Before leaving Spain, we stopped at a small site in a village called Capmany, between Figueres and La Jonquera, just below the Spanish border with France and just had to visit the Dali Museum whilst we were here. We arrived early and had a fabulous lunch first and then spent the next 3 hours wandering around the museum.
Salvador Dali was born in Figueres in 1904 and in the 1980s purchased a burned out theatre which he renovated and modernised to home his collection of art, figurines, drawings and jewellery as well as the sketches that he drew before creating every masterpiece. He died in his home town in 1989 and is known as a surreralist as well as for some of his quotes:
I don’t do drugs. I am drugs.
Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.
Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.
He really was an odd man, extremely weird and imaginative and obviously had a fantastically bizarre imagination. Hope you enjoy some of his creations.
