After an incredible tour through the home and gardens of the surrealist artist Salvador Dali (Casa Dali is the home on the left in the photo below) we walk along the shore, checking out so many cool shells and sea creature skeletons. We walk across the bay to see the house from afar, there isContinue reading “A hike in Port Lligat and a day in Cadaques”

Casa Dalí
We wake up early to catch a bus from Barcelona to the seaside Spanish town of Cadaquez. The ride takes us through highways, gives way to roads and roundabouts, goes through small towns, finally leading to the sea. We turn towards terraced green hills that wind around and around, giving a peek of the seaContinue reading “Casa Dalí”

Gaudi goodness!

We headed to an outdoor market, they sell everything from antiques, to housewares, books and big stuff like sinks, bedsContinue reading “Barcelona, day 1”
