Figueres Cataluna
Figueres is a small city around 60 miles north of Barcelona and 8 miles from the coast. It is situated at the north-eastern end of Catalonia. It is the largest of the cities bordering France and is the centre of a major communications network , making it a gateway and stopping place for travellers and tourists entering and leaving Spain. 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.
