Hut of Salvador Dalí

Coordinates: 41.8643460000, 3.1623390000 (map)

A quaint hut that you may find while strolling around the beach Es Castell has appeared here in the mid-20th century when the grounds belonged to the art patron Alberto Puig Palau. A friend of Salvador Dalí, Palau dreamed of Dalí spending more time at his estate, so he ordered a studio to be built for the artist, adding his own two cents to the project — the door frame of the studio is slanted at 35-40°.

After appreciating the originality and generosity of his friend, Dalí hadn't bought new paints or canvas for the studio. There are photos of the artist posing next to the studio that was named in his honour, la barraca d’en Dalí (the Dalí's hut), but no records indicate that he had ever painted anything inside.
