Overview

The small town of Figueres in Catalonia, near the border with France, is remarkable for just one reason - it was the birthplace of Salvador Dali and is now home to the Dali Museum.

Whether you are passionate about your surreal art or just have a passing interest in Dali, this is an essential day trip from Barcelona. Even the kids will appreciate the bizarre but highly accessible work of the Spanish artist.
