Yes, the Salvador Dali House—Portlligat is absolutely worth visiting; it's an anchor point of the Dalinian (or Dalí) Triangle, and Dalí lived and worked there for 40 years. Less overtly surreal than the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, it still offers plenty to delight, from the artist's workshop, to his dressing room, to his pool—not to mention a bedazzled, taxidermied polar bear and olive groves decked out with giant eggs. Tickets include a small-group tour of the house, but booking a guided tour that includes other Dalí sights can streamline transportation and allow visitors to take in additional related attractions.

Per one customer who booked the Dali Museum, House & Cadaques Small-Group Tour From Barcelona, "Berta is a fantastic guide. She is incredibly knowledgeable and understands when to tell you more about something and when to let you stare out the window. The Dali Theater/Museum must be seen to be believed, and the visit to Gala and his home helps give insight into one of the most fascinating minds in human history. I have done this tour five times now and will absolutely be back for round six in a few years. I always bring my high school students with me and they're always captivated and enthralled. I end our time in Spain with this tour because, as so many of the 80ish students I've taken have said, 'Where do you go from here? After you've seen this, it's time to go home.'"
