Yesterday, we took a two hour train ride from and then back to Barcelona to visit the Dalí museum in Figueres, España. The museum is itself a work of art. Dalí personally designed and decorated it to best present work from every stage of his life and artistic career. He painted ceilings and placed sculptures perfectly in order to make sure his talent (and ego) was not only preserved but kept in its purest, most Dalí-esque (there's really not other way to put it) form.
We left Barcelona this morning for Valencia, Spain's third largest city. It is sunny, coastal, and full of beautiful old architecture. It has it's own language as well, Valencian, a dialect of Catalan. I had no expectations upon arrival, and have been incredibly pleasantly surprised by how beautiful, charming, and full of character it is.
Andalucia soon, then Morocco.
