What to do
GALA DALÍ CASTLE
The castle in Púbol dates from the 12th century. Dalí bought it in 1969 and transformed it completely for his muse Gala, who rests in a mausoleum under the castle, dressed in a red Dior dress.
He built her a throne and painted her as a goddess. Dalí himself could only visit with Gala’s handwritten permission, which might have something to do with the fact that Gala would enjoy multiple lovers.
The garden has sculptures of elephants with legs like mosquitos.tickets | maps, in Púbol | favourite of Micky Hoogendijk, Artist
DISCOVER THE HIKING TRAILS
The best way to see the area of Pubol and Begur, the coast, is by foot. Take a stroll along the old paths (Camins Vells) all the way from Begur to the bays.
