Figueres & The Dali Museum

After getting bread and cakes from the local bakery this morning we got back to Wanda to see that other motorhomes wanted to leave and the idiot that had turned up late last night was utterly oblivious of the fact so I decided to leave early and head down the road just 10 miles to Figueres. The home and birthplace of Salvador Dali.
We arrived in Figueres around 9am. I knew we’d be early but I just wanted to get into the city and get parked and we found parking in park for night up at the castle with lots of other Moho’s. Once parked we made breakfast and Ellie booked tickets. Luckily she checked to see if we needed to book because the earliest we could get in was midday which pretty much left us with nothing to do for 2 1/2 hours so we FaceTimed some family back home.
At 11:30am we headed out and into the city and it was literally a 10 minute to the Dali museum and once there we joined a queue.
We had no idea it would be so busy and they were only letting people in, in 15 minute increments and it must have been around a hundred at a time.
Once inside for the first 10 minutes it was walk to wall people but as things went along we gradually found more space and were able to see the artwork. It was a really great art museum and we didn’t realise but Dali himself actually brought the building which was a former theatre and helped design and build the museum so it is laid out exactly as he wanted it, and obviously being Dali the artwork is amazing and bizarre.
The museum took about an hour to walk around and it did feel very confined with people at times but we’re glad we went.
We got back to Wanda at 1pm and it was time to move on.Read more
