Figueres is the epicenter of the Alt Empordà region, with its main attractions being its landscapes, culture, and history. It lies just fifteen kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, at the foot of the Pyrenees, and is surrounded by three natural parks. You’ll be amazed by the Dalí Theatre-Museum—both inside and out—as well as by other institutions such as the Catalonia Toy Museum, the Empordà Museum, the Electricity Museum, and the Empordà Technology Museum. The town also boasts Europe’s largest fortress, the Castle of Sant Ferran. To delve deeper into Salvador Dalí’s surreal world and Figueres’ past, you can take guided tours like the “Dalí’s Figueres,” “Nadalí,” or “Civil War” routes. Finally, the local gastronomy is fascinating: a blend of tradition and creativity, combining ingredients from both sea and mountain, and topped off with excellent DO Empordà wines.
