Gradually, all the museum stairs lead you to the central hall, where you can breathe a little and order enacted imagination. Indeed, in this strange place no object or artifact, which would not cause a storm of contradictory emotions: even the urinal Dali - a true work of art. Going to the exit through the patio of the museum of Salvador Dali, where each window gilded statue of the artist's muse, joyfully greet each visitor, you will leave the historical center of Figueras, which turned into a large area of trade.

Near Figueras, half an hour to the coast of Costa Brava, is a fishing village of Cadaques - the summer residence of the artist. On the local beach in August 1929, El Salvador has met his Gala - beautiful Halina D', arrived in Spain with her husband, the French poet Paul Eluard.
The meeting was fateful, and marked the beginning of one of the most beautiful love stories of the XX century, which lasted more than fifty years. Ended it here. Gala died in Figueras morning, June 10, 1982. According to her will, the body was transferred to another Spanish town Pubol - in 1969, the great surrealist bought there for his beloved wife of the medieval castle.
After the funeral, being in a deep depression, Dali remained in Pubole. Slept in a bed Gala, refused to meet with anyone whatsoever, hungry - and the result ... almost burned: in the room where he slept, there was a fire. Aged artist has received numerous burns, and came out of the hospital, left the castle and settled in the Galata Tower in Figueras, where he spent his last days.
In Pubole after his death opened the house-museum. Here, everything remained as it was in Dali: Surrealist and ceiling, and strange to the throne, and a fireplace in the Baroque style, and fountains in the form of elephants, giraffes legs, and a swimming pool with sculpted images of Richard Wagner - all the decor sur-castle artist himself had planned.
