Figueres ? home to works of Dalí

Figueres, the little town that is located only 37 km away from Girona is always linked to Salvador Dalí.

During your holidays at the Costa Brava you should not forget to visit the Museo Dalí in Figueres. For most people the famous and impressive museum is the only reason to come to Figueres.
But besides the museum there is more you can discover in Figueres during your stay in a Costa Brava Hotel. For example the ?rambla? in the centre of the town where you can enjoy a coffee in one of the numerous cafés or have a walk through the galleries and gift shops where the offer of little presents and souvenirs is mostly related to Salvador Dalí.
The ??Castell de Sant Ferran? which dates back to the 18th century is also worth visiting it during you stay in Figueres. It was originally built as a defence against the French. More recently it was used as a prison for Colonel Tejero. For about 10 ? you can easily get from Barcelona to Figueres by train. Trains are leaving every hour.
Or you can directly book a nice Figueres Hotel where you will enjoy your stay at the Costa Brava!
