title Salvador Dalí's House, Port Lligat, Spain - 19th Deptember 2006 intro Nosher had been up since around 6 in the morning (i.e. still in the middle of the night) to do a couple of hours' grape picking, but having finished that it was time to head down to the coast of Spain to visit Salvador Dalí's house at Port Lligat, near (-ish) to Figueres and Cadaqués. The house is a bunch of fisherman's cottages ingeniously knocked together into a pretty amazing pad, and, rather, cooly for a museum, we're actually allowed to take photos in it, although it's a requirement that we reserve a tour around in advance. It's worth it though for a look round and to to see some of the influences that appear in several Dalí paintings. imgp6631 Roaming around on the beach imgp6633 Fishing boats on the beach at Port Lligat imgp6638 Kai and Pieter on the beach imgp6640 Kai with a bit of bread imgp6641 Kai's got a chain imgp6643 The gang on the beach imgp6645 A fishing boat's propeller imgp6647 Bill and a boat imgp6655 A shrimping/fishing light imgp6656 A stone building imgp6657 A feral kitten loiters by the tourist office imgp6660 Isobel plays with a kitten imgp6662 Another kitten has a doze on the street imgp6664 A sundial on a wall imgp6665 Wandering the back streets imgp6667 White houses and trees imgp6668 Natan carries Kai's buggy up the hill imgp6669 A blue window imgp6671 A panelled wooden door imgp6674 Salvador Dalí's house imgp6676 A couple of swans on a bookshelf imgp6677 An eagle on a wardrobe imgp6678 Natalie takes a photo imgp6680 Peering out through the picture-frame wall imgp6682 A flight of steps imgp6685 An unfinished painting in Dalí's studio imgp6689 Another painting imgp6691 Dalí's paint store imgp6694 Natan and Jules stand by a photo of Dalí's parents imgp6696 The Dalí studio imgp6700 The gang roam around imgp6704 A room covered in magazines imgp6705 An orange boudoir imgp6706 Pieter in the orange room imgp6707 In the photo momento room imgp6711 Outside in the garden imgp6713 Bill, Jules and Isobel imgp6714 Natalie from Iowa in the garden imgp6718 The swimming pool, supposedly shaped like a penis imgp6723 Kai, Jules and Natan in the Pirelli installation imgp6728 The snake room imgp6729 Bill and Natalie imgp6731 A stuffed lion imgp6732 An interesting iron installation imgp6734 Some artists do their thing imgp6737 A painter on the beach imgp6738 Everyone's an artist: a painter captures the Lligat vibe
