Our first stop was Pubol, home of Castell Dali Gala. It is the castle that Dali gave as a gift to his wife Gala. It was a glimpse into the life of an artistic genius who claimed that the only difference between him and a madman was that he was not mad. We had a dapper young man give us the tour.
Here's a picture from the first room of the tour.
Looks like a door, doesn't it? It's a picture of a door, painted to 1:1 scale. There actually is a door to the right that looks the same.
Here's another picture of a radiator. Unfortunately, the flash gives it away. The second picture is a side-view of the painting and behind it is the actual radiator. You can't really see it from this angle but the picture is a pretty close replication of the actual radiator.
We rode through the countryside until we reached the village of La Bisbal d'Emporda which marked the beginning of a short climb to the hotel that is a restored castle.
Here's some of Jamie's pictures from the ride.
Here's a view from the balcony of Jaime and my room.
Life is tough.
