Did Salvador Dali, who lived in Portlligat for many years, often travel to Cap de Creus via the camino viell del far?

A round trip to the first two summits of the Three Crowns, plus a third as a preamble. For the less adventurous, the climb to Txurrumurru requires crossing a rocky bar that can be tricky.
