“P\u00fabol, an hour south of Portlligat and 20 minutes\u2019 drive from the sea, seems made to seduce visitors with its old stone buildings, narrow winding streets, and ivy-covered walls. It is also home to the castle that Dal\u00ed bought for his wife in 1962. He envisioned it as a continuation of his home in Portlligat yet fully dedicated to his love for Gala, a place where \u201cshe would reign like an absolute sovereign\u201d and which became her final resting place.<\/p>\n The castle dates from the 14th century\u2014its foundations are 300 years older\u2014and is inflected with Dal\u00ed\u2019s creative genius. The ill repair in which he found the building was used in small ways to showcase his work, the space and his art working in harmony. While the couple undertook restoration, collapsed walls structured the home into unusual spaces and became Dal\u00ed\u2019s canvas. The effect is surprising: a large and impersonal space becomes intimate in unexpected ways. Hand-painted frescos<\/em> and surrealist touches throughout the castle clearly bear the artist\u2019s signature fingerprint.”<\/p>\n See more at: http:\/\/www.barcelona-metropolitan.com\/things-to-do\/the-dali-triangle\/#sthash.ZzhXalye.dpuf<\/a><\/p>\n![\"geo](\"http:\/\/bouncearoundbarcelona.com\/wpbab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/costa-brava-453637_1920.jpg\")
