 Figueres nestles between the eastern end of the Pyrenees and
the Costa Brava and is best known as the birthplace of the master
of the surrealist art movement, Salvador Dali. The main attraction
of Figueres is the Teatre Museu Dali which houses the largest
single collection of Spain's most notorious Surrealist and was
designed by the artist himself. Dali is buried inside his Museum.
The old town of Figueres is pleasant to walk around and there
are a number of important monuments worth visiting, including
the old medieval walls and the castle of Sant Ferran, a massive
18th century fortress on the outskirts of town. The walls enclose
the historical centre of Figueres, where some lovely corners
such as the Plaza del Ayuntamiento and the area around Carrer
Magre have been preserved from medieval times. La Rambla is the
best place for eating and socialising, and there are plenty of
cafés and bars to choose from. |
