Figueres, a small town located 37 km away from Girona, has always been linked to Salvador Dalí and its art works. If you organise holidays on the Costa Brava in Figueres you will find the magical influence of surrealism in every corner. Staying at Figueres hotels you should not forget to visit the Museo Dalí right in the town. For many tourists the famous and impressive museum is one of the most important reasons to come to Figueres. It offers a broad spectrum of works covering the artistic career of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), from his early artistic experiences and his surrealistic creations through to works dating from the last year of his life. But besides the museum there is more you can discover in Figueres.The Castell de Sant Ferran which dates back to the 18th century is also worth visiting it during you stay. It was originally built as a defence against the French. More recently it was used as a prison for Colonel Tejero. Those who are looking for great shopping offers won't be disappointed of Figueres either. he historical centre itself is a great open-air shopping zone which can offer a notable and varied range of shops selling food, textiles and clothes and gifts. Going out around Figueres at night is a good way to round off the day having a good time listening to music and enjoying a good atmosphere in the city's night bars. The charme of the town is incredible!
