According to Luis Buñuel, Dalí and Gala went to a masquerade party in Chicago dressed as the Lindbergh baby and the kidnapper. The uproar in the press was so great that Dalí apologized. When he returned to Paris, the Surrealists put him on trial for apologizing for a surrealist act.[28]

André Breton accused Dalí of defending the "new" and "irrational" in the "the Hitler phenomenon," but the artist quickly rejected this claim, saying, "I am Hitlerian neither in fact nor intention."[29] However, when Francisco Franco came to power in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, Dalí's support of the new regime, among other things, eventually resulted in his purported expulsion from the Surrealist group. At this, Dalí retorted, "I myself am surrealism."

Púbol (Catalan: Púbol) is a small town located in the comarca (county) of Baix Empordà, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain.

The artist Salvador Dalí lived at the Castell de Pubol; in 1982, he was named Marquis of Púbol.

Púbol, along with Cadaqués and Figueres, forms the so-called "Dalinian Triangle".
