The Salvador Dalí Triangle

The life and works of this painter from Figueres are condensed into three emblematic areas: the Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the House-Museum in Portlligat and the Púbol Castle. Visit them!!!

Gala-Dalí Castle (Púbol)

Salvador Dalí’s Home (Portlligat)

Dalí Theatre-Museum (Figueres)

Now in it’s 4th year, La Pedrera will welcome three chamber music events every day in August, which will last 30 minutes each. The objective of this project is to bring the public closer to chamber music and make them aware of the impressive group of musicians and creators in Spain, enjoying the architectural beauty of one of Gaudí’s most emblematic creations at the same time.

Palau Novella is an old Spanish style mansion in the Garraf Natural Park – Parc Natural del Garraf just south of Barcelona. Since 1996 it has been home to the first buddhist monastery in Catalonia called Sakya Tashi Ling. Part of the premises is open to the public on weekends and holidays. Palau Novella, was built in the 19th century as a family residence for a wealthy “indiano” trader, who returned from the Spanish colonies with his fortune.

There are guided tours of the monastery in English, Spanish or Catalan. The tours are not that long, but interesting and offer a glimpse of the buildings itself and the art and culture of Tibet.

The monastery also has restaurant, a hostel and a souvenir shop.

The Buddhist community organizes one-off conferences every Saturday and additional seminars for those who want to study the religion more profoundly. Other activities include courses on meditation, tai chi, yoga, reflexology, qi gong, chakras and reiki.
