Figueres
The birthplace of surrealist master Salvador Dalí and home to the world-famous Dalí Theatre-Museum, designed by the artist himself. This historic Catalan city dates back to the Visigoth period and played a crucial role in Spanish history as the site where the Republican government held its final Civil War meeting. Beyond Dalí, Figueres was also the birthplace of Narcís Monturiol, inventor of the first successful machine-powered submarine. Key attractions include the impressive Sant Ferran Castle (1753), the Technical Museum of the Empordà, and excellent high-speed rail connections including direct TGV services to Paris.
