The first thing you notice when you cross the border is that Spain is a much poorer country than France. The roads are in less good condition, the houses look more neglected. I must admit, at a first glance I thought, crikey, I want to go back to France! Then I thought, how ridiculous, the first time we went to France, I was desperate to get back to England and familiarity. How strange that after three visits, I now feel perfectly (almost!) at home in France. Anyway, I am getting used to Spain, although not having any Spanish is a hindrance!
Our first stop is at Port Lligat, where Salvador Dali lived for many years. 
The house of Salvador Dali at Port Lligat. He lived here with his wife Gala, who features in many of his paintings, for about 50 years. They originally bought just one fisherman’s cottage, single storey, then bought all the attached ones, extended upwards, and also bought the land around. The house is a labyrinth!
