Highlights
Expanding on Spain. Focus on Costa Brava which is the coastal region of Catalonia in northeastern Spain.
When I was at the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, I learned that he had a home in Port Lligat. The first opportunity someone invited me to Cadaques, I said yes without hesitation!
We were celebrating the Feast of Sant Joan which coincides with the summer solstice and is one of the most important Catalan feast days. It’s also called Nit del Foc meaning Night of Fire, fireworks abound. One of the guys cooked up fabulous steaks from Girona. I remember drinking my wine in this family summer home right at the waters edge surrounded by dashing Spaniards and loving my life immensely.
When I saw the landscape, I was home. I felt a shared closeness with Dali as if I understood his soul and his art better by sharing in the inspiration and beauty he experienced by living here.
My favorite hike is along the Camino de Ronda, an old smugglers path that often drops right into the sea, perfect for a dip on a warm summer day:
