Salvador Dali was born in May 11, 1904 in the small agricultural town
of Figueres, Spain, located in the foothills of the Pyrenees, only
sixteen miles from the French border in the principality of Catalonia.
The son of a prosperous notary, Salvador Dali spent his boyhood in
Figueres and at the family's summer home in the coastal fishing village
of Cadaques where his parents built his first studio. As an
adult, he made his home with his wife Gala in nearby Port Lligat.
