I haven't done a flashback for a while, but today in my Catalan class we were discussing the Dalí museum, which made me think of Dali's house that I visited almost three years ago. Which made me think of Cadaqués, the nearby village in the Costa Brava which was the reason for the trip, and these photos. Also, strangely, another woman in my class was wearing this same shirt that I'm wearing here, only in blue. !
So, if you couldn't tell already, Cadaqués is a beautiful little Catalan town on the coast, and Dalí lived just a bit up the coast in the craziest house you can imagine, but apparently when he wasn't being a surrealist genius he was really normal and would walk down to the village and play cards with all the other little old men.
When I am a famous author I will make a point of having a beautiful coastal villa. ; ) And I shall wear cotton dresses and these shoes every day.
Great photos, I have always wanted to go to Cadaques and then visit Dali's museum! Seems so pretty!

Why will you have to delete the last photo? It's so sweet! I would love to visit this town someday and see Dali's house. I can't even imagine how interesting it must be. And even without his house, the town is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing photos. It feels like we're there with you. Thanks for the vicarious thrill. :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous! love it :)

Oh Dali is my favorite painter of all time. I remember in elementary school I made a project about him, and since then I always found him interesting. You are so lucky to have been there.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'm loving this flashback :D I want a house there too, haha

This place loos absolutely glorious! I love Dali - he is one of those artists whose work is mind-blowingly awesome in the original. Never as good in reproduction.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think with your many many travels I would happily make you the expert on everywhere :)(or at least most of everywhere)
Fantástico! suena (y también se ve) asombroso que hayas estado allí :)
ReplyDeleteLas fotos están bellísimas y este ha sido un flashback buenísimo :)
Gracias por compartirlo con nosotros.
Nos vemos!
Is that roof with the egg Dali's house? I can't wait to read your first book...and to say, I knew her when.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so jealous of how well traveled you are! I haven't even been out of the United States! Cadaques looks like a beautiful place. I'd love to visit some time! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for taking the time to vote for my poem/tweet about it! It was so sweet of you :)
I love when you share bits of your travels...So refreshing to know that Dali wasn't a recluse.
ReplyDeleteThis Costa Brava you speak of...definitely added on my list of places to visit. Little European coastal villages are the best :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo! And I couldn't help but whisper,"EGG!" at the last picture. haha I'm such a dork...anyways, cotton dresses are definitely so comfortable, especially in such beautiful weather.

These are very beautiful pictures and a nice flashback post!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a bit of paradise.
ReplyDeleteI remember a song from a Catalan group (Sopa de Cabra) who says...
ReplyDeleteNascut entre Blanes i Cadaqués, molt tocat per la tramuntana...
I hope tha when you are famous, the followers of your blog, will have reduced cost entry? :p
@Xavi: Entry into my home? Hehe, I'll have a blog readers BBQ! ; )
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great place to visit! I find it looks like a mix between some of Madeira's fishing towns and some little towns in Alentejo (southern Portugal).
ReplyDeleteAnd how fun that Dalí lived in a crazy house though played cards with old guys?
Hope when you're famous you'll invite me to your villa!! hehe
aaaah I wish I could travel as much as you do, I am in love with Spain and I would like to go there every few months! :(
ReplyDeleteI think you just put this place on my list of places I need to see :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your line about living in a place like this and wearing cotton dresses everyday??? Pretty sure that is my dream :)
Haha! Cycling in a maxi skirt is easy, you just tuck in the bottom into the waist and create a short baloony skirt. With the dress its a bit more tricky, you need to hold the end in your hand...might not be the safest thing to do...
ReplyDeleteenjoy the beach!
oh wow, these photos are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really lovely there. I want a villa; writer or not. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Yes, I focus the camera on a very specific rock/spot (if there isn't a good spot to focus on I usually set my purse where I intend to stand & focus the camera on that). It's hard to do at the moment b/c I'm using an 85mm, which means the focus is usually a good distance from the tripod & a very narrow field; so I really have to run between shots. :)
It's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteaw i like the header on your blog!.. super cute, lol... and great pics btw, makes me want to be there right now!
