Cadaqués Day II and the Salvador Dalí House

Our first full day in Cadaqués would bring a mixed bag of weather as we had sun, cloud cover and even a little rain.

Not to worry, we still enjoyed a full day lazing about.

Lots of cats in Cadaqués

Almost all of them sport some variation of this black and white theme.

It will soon open for lunch

Nice Patio

I like blue

Dos Claras, por favor

A Clara is half beer, half Seven-Up and all hot Summer day.

We need more Sun . . .

. . . All would seem to agree

Remember, Cadaqués prides itself on being an art colony, so this simply will not do.

Artists take your best shots . . .

Better

Much Better

Very Good

Serene

A bit different

Nice work Cadaqués Art Community!

others for the sake of maintenance

After a good beach day, we went back to our hotel to clean up and decided to drive over to Port Lligat only five minutes away to visit . . .

The Salvador Dalí House

This world renowned Surrealist artist called this his home from 1930 to 1982. It definitely showed the, shall we say, interesting tastes of Dalí!

Dalí!

On the right, partly obscured, is a copy of Time magazine with Dalí gracing it's cover. Dalí was the first Spaniard to make it to the cover of Time magazine.

This must have irritated Generalissimo Franco to no end.

Port Lligat Cove

The Dalí House took us about 40 minutes to view. It was quite interesting and bizarre as well.

Much like its designer I'm sure.

Back in Cadaqués, it was time for dinner. Where to go?

With a name like that it HAS to be good!

Pasta in a "Puttanesca" sauce?

We started the meal with three different orders of tapas which were all delightful.

For my main course, I had to try the Tagliolini à la "Puttanesca." I just had to!

The sauce was incredibly hot as in Spicy Coyote hot, not heat hot. My head started sweating profusely after two bites.

I was in deep trouble!

But I had to finish it as a matter of culinary honor.

I would pay the price for this decision all night long!

As we say in my native France about situations like this one . . . PUTAIN DE MERDE!!!

Good Night Cadaqués!
