The current Portlligat House-Museum was the only stable house of Salvador Dalí; the place where he normally lived and worked until in 1982, with the death of Gala, he settled in the castle of Púbol. Salvador Dalí settled in 1930 in a small fisherman’s hut in Portlligat, attracted by the landscape, the light and the isolation of the place.
From this initial construction, he was creating his house for 40 years. As he defined it, it was “like a real biological structure […]. Each new impulse of our life corresponded to a new cell, a chamber. Regarding his usual residence, Salvador Dalí stated: “Portlligat is the place of the realizations. It is the perfect place for my work. Everything is conjured up to make it so: time passes more slowly and every hour has its right dimension.
