Activity date: Tuesday, October 28, 2025

Once again, the traditional ARAPDIS Annual Outing became a memorable day, strengthening the ties of our great family and opening a window to culture and art. This year, the chosen destination was Salvador Dalí‘s dream universe, visiting his iconic Theatre-Museum in Figueres.

A meeting that combines services and people

The particularity and beauty of this outing lies in its transversality: it brought together users and professionals of all our services. The residents of the Residence and Flats, the users of the Community Rehabilitation Service (SRC) and the members of the Social Club participated together. This coexistence between services is key for our organization, as it promotes cohesion, the exchange of experiences and the strengthening of the sense of belonging.

The journey to Figueres was already a moment of camaraderie, with many conversations and shared excitement for the adventure that awaited us.

Immersion in Dalí’s Dream World

Once at the museum, we attendees immersed ourselves in the creative mind of one of the most brilliant and controversial artists of the 20th century. The Dalí Theatre-Museum, conceived by himself, is a work of art in itself, full of visual tricks, symbolism and surrealism.

From the majestic geodesic dome to the most recognized works such as Gala Placidia or the famous Portrait of Mae West, the visit aroused the curiosity and reflection of our users. Art, with its ability to evoke emotions and connect with the personal imagination, became an excellent vehicle for dialogue and expression.

The Importance of Coexistence

Beyond cultural enrichment, the main objective of the Annual Outing is to generate spaces for normalization, recreation and coexistence outside the usual therapeutic environment. Seeing users and professionals sharing laughs, comments on the works and enjoying a fun day reinforces our care model, centered on the person and on social integration.

We would like to thank all the participants, users and professionals, for their energy and enthusiasm, which made this day a resounding success. This unforgettable meeting gives us strength to continue working with the same enthusiasm in the day-to-day of our services.

Until the next adventure, ARAPDIS!
