Cadaqués, Spain: The land Salvador Dalí never forgot

Cadaques, Spain - Salvador Dalí How negotiated the rocky paths of his beloved sneakers in Cadaqués rope soles he is in favor of a mystery.The steep, narrow streets of the old town are cleaner for goats than humans, which would be well advised to walk deliberately to avoid ankle sprains or worse.

Yes, paths and steps are unequal, and to inflate the degree of difficulty, the stones are set on their narrow sides so it feels - especially if you wear shoes with thin soles - as you walk on 7-Eleven roller grill. In a way, the old ladies in housedresses linked up and down, throwing a bit of a smug look to the woman stumbling block for many years their junior. Many children with catapults, waving his arms as if they were shot from a cannon.That's how gravity is the speed by pulling them into the Mediterranean. Is this really a jolting Vespa? Rider must be confusing the brain from the hustle.

Then within minutes, with a few hundred yards behind us weak and up the hill, we put our feet on the floor smooth. Before us is a beautiful harbor filled with fishing boats pumping. Shops, restaurants, holiday accommodation and tourists strolling the ring dike. A light wind, just stating what will happen in just a few days time. "

We duck into a cafe near the beach for patatas bravas - pieces of golden potatoes with a spicy dip that are as ubiquitous here as fried cheese sticks are in the U.S. - and a plate of Iberian ham shaved. We sit for a while, with sangria, too, watching the water and sky, the scene framed by round-ups of rocks on each side. The projection from the middle of the harbor looks like a rhinoceros horn.

The table could not be more different from the landscape of Tampa Bay, and yet it seems familiar.We saw the port, the church on the hill, sand colors mutate into crimson sunset, the rocks that make fancy shapes.

We saw this place, in the paintings of Dali.

The Dali Triangle

Earlier this year, a new $ 36 million Dalí Museum opened on the waterfront of downtown St. Petersburg. There are dozens of paintings and other works acquired by A. Reynolds and Eleanor Morse, who had a great friendship with the Spanish artist and have been among his biggest supporters.
