A Banksy in Mayfair

A relatively new Banksy tucked away in Bruton Lane – a stones throw away from the fashionable boutiques of Old Bond Street. The black stencil technique used here was pioneered by French street artist Blek le Rat.


Cadaqués, Port Lligat and Cap de Creus

Cadaqués is a former fishing village set on a bay in the middle of the Cap de Creus peninsula on Spain’s Costa Brava.

Cadaqués Boats

Salvador Dalí often visited Cadaqués in his childhood and he discovered modern painting on a summer vacation here with the family of Ramon Pichot, a local artist who made regular trips to Paris. Dalí later kept a home in nearby Port Lligat.

The evening before…

Port Lligat

Dalí’s house in Port Lligat has been converted into the Casa-Museo Salvador Dalí. Both the bay and the island have been represented in several of Dalí’s paintings, including The Madonna of Port Lligat, Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus), and The Sacrament of the Last Supper.
