Nuestros guías expertos te enseñarán esta casa de la mejor forma que existe; además, la visita se realiza en diferentes idiomas. Disfruta de una experiencia increíble visitando la casa en la que Dalí vivió durante más de 50 años con su esposa Gala, que fue tan significativa para él, que tras su fallecimiento en 1982 abandonó la casa y no volvió a habitarla jamás. Este complejo fue diseñado por ambos, por lo que te adentrarás en un laberinto sinfín en el que encontrarás miles de obras de arte, esculturas, animales disecados, ventanas irregulares… Todo ello producto de su arte surrealista. Te recomendamos que no decidas separarte de la visita guiada, pues es una casa llena de pasadizos secretos en los que el matrimonio pasaba momentos felices, íntimos y profesionales.
