Dali Planet #177: L’Hostal
Under the watchful eye of the Dali monument on Es Passeig in Cadaques are Es Maritim bar, the Can Rafa restaurant and the popular disco L’Hostal. Dali used to hang out here at the 1901-vintage Hostal, chatting with rock stars and Nobel prize winners, and even designed its logo. This photo of the entrance is by Xavier Cortina from PBase.com.
He may also have partaken in some lusty scenes in the upstairs rooms in the 1960s, which would account for letting his enthusiasm get away with him when he called it “the most beautiful place on earth”. Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst and Umberto Eco have also been among the customers.
Didn’t he tell someone that talent came from the balls. Not so sure myself.
