Figueres and Dalí go hand in hand: it’s impossible to say the name of this city without thinking of the genius who was born here. Set in the heart of the Alt Empordà, a short break is all it takes to discover the artist’s life, back when he was still Salvador, and the surrealist world he would later create. But there’s much more to this city, too. Stay at one of our hotels in Figueres and we’ll show you how to explore it.
If one image sums up Figueres, it’s Torre Galatea, with its pink façade, golden loaves of bread and huge eggs crowning the roof. It was originally called Torre Gorgot and is part of the Teatro-Museo Dalí, Dalí’s last great work. Inside, you’ll find more than 1,500 pieces, including installations such as Taxi lluvioso and Sala Mae West. A visit is probably the closest you’ll ever get to his inner world, which began to take shape on the streets of this city. Specifically, at number 6, Calle Monturiol: his Casa Natal. An immersive exhibition brings you closer to Salvador before he became Dalí.
A place to pass through and where everything happens, La Rambla is where you get a feel for Figueres. Lined with grand houses, some neoclassical and others modernist, it’s well worth strolling from end to end. And don’t resist the temptation to take a seat at one of its cafés or on a terrace—it’s a real treat. Take a moment to recharge: you’ll need the energy to wander through the narrow streets of the historic centre. They were once part of the medieval town. Today, they form a large open-air pedestrian shopping area, where you’re sure to find what you’re looking for: long-established local shops sit alongside major international brands.
In Figueres, the produce matters. See for yourself on market days, when the Plaça del Gra and Plaça de Catalunya fill with fruit, vegetables, cheese and cured meats. Look out for Figueres onions and apples from Sant Pere Pescador, then let someone else do the cooking. Restaurants and taverns serve traditional recipes such as suquet de pescado. For something sweet, head to a local bakery and don’t leave without trying buñuelos del Empordà, flaonas, borregos, tejas or carquinyolis from Forn La Barceloneta. And what to raise a glass with? D.O. Empordà wine, of course.
Figueres has good connections to destinations across Spain and abroad. Girona-Costa Brava Airport is a 30-minute drive away, and the city has two railway stations: Figueres-Vilafant, served by high-speed trains connecting with Madrid, Barcelona and Paris; and the conventional train station, with commuter services to other towns in Catalonia. You’ll also find the bus station next to it. If you’re travelling by car, you can reach the city via the AP-7 or N-II, while the N-260 and C-260 connect Figueres with other parts of the Empordà and the coast. Once you’re here, the city centre is easy to explore on foot.
