1. Guided Tour of Dalí's Figueres & Jewish Girona (from Barcelona)
Combine a trip to Figueres, the birthplace of Spanish artist Salvador Dalí with a trip to Girona, which has one of the best preserved Jewish quarters in Europe.The Dalí museum in Figueres is a work of art in itself and has to be seen to be believed - the most surreal sight you will see on your trip to Catalonia - well, apart from the Dalí paintings inside the museum!
After you've taken in Dalí's masterpieces, you'll visit Girona and its well preserved Jewish quarter. You will be free to explore Girona largely by yourself.
2. Guided Tour of Dalí's Figueres and Pubol Castle
After spending the morning visiting the Gala Dali castle in Pubol, visit Dalí's museum in his hometown of Figueres (see above).In 1996, the former residence of Dalí and his wife, the Gala Dali castle, became a museum which now houses the paintings and drawings which Dali gave to his wife, as well as elephant sculptures and a collection of Gala's dresses, furniture and decorative pieces.
The tour then goes on to Figueres, where you can see some of Dalí's greatest works in a spectacularly bizarre museum.
3. Guided Tour of Roman Tarragona & the Beaches of Sitges (from Barcelona)
