FILE - This Oct. 18, 1984, file photo, shows Spanish painter Salvador Dali's mansion in Figueras, Spain, where he was living at the time. In the background can be seen the geodesic dome topping the Dali museum which occupies part of the mansion called, &quot;Torre Galatea.&quot; If the name Salvador Dali conjures images of melting watches and one conspicuous mustache but not much else, then a visit to Spain's &quot;Dali Triangle&quot; will not only make for a fantastic road trip, it will show that there's so much more to the renowned surrealist's work. Three of Dali's homes, all converted to museums, are located along the Costa Brava, a nearly 100-mile (160-kilometer) stretch of rugged coastline in northeastern Catalonia.
