Figueres, known for its historical importance during the Civil War and its proximity to the border with France, is a mandatory stop. Visitors can explore the Castell de Sant Ferran, the largest modern-era fortress in Europe, as well as the Sant Pere Church and the Rambla. The city also hosts the Toy Museum and the essential Dalí Museum.
Although an inland city, Figueres is the ideal starting point to discover the diverse landscapes of the Empordà, where the sea and mountains meet in the Cap de Creus Natural Park. Cadaqués is only 45 minutes away, and the journey itself is an experience, as the winding road crosses half of the natural park, offering views of Mediterranean forests and cliffs.
This coastal village has preserved its original structures, characterized by narrow stone streets and immaculate white houses. Cadaqués is the archetype of the Mediterranean fishing village. Its connection to art is undeniable, making it essential to visit Salvador Dalí's summer house and workshop, a relationship reflected in many of his paintings.
Beyond its visual charm, Cadaqués offers exquisite gastronomy. For those with a sweet tooth, it is mandatory to try the 'Taps de Cadaqués', an exclusive dessert only made in the small bakery of Can Cabrisas, making it an essential purchase for visitors.
