Figueres is a buzzing Spanish Town that can be found high up in the north eastern part of Spain. Very close to its border with France.
Salvador Dali was born here and although he lived away for long periods of his life he returned here to be cared for in his dying days. In 1974 the Dali Theater Museum was opened and its popularity has grown to such an extent that it is now the 3rd most visited Museum in Spain.
If you like shopping then you won?t be disappointed, Figueres is said to be home to over 1000 shops and you can wander safely amongst them in the large, pedestrianized shopping zone in the centre of town.
For market lovers there are markets on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays selling mostly local produce of Fish, Fruit and Vegetables. These markets are normally open between 9am and 2pm.
There are three main airports that are relatively close to Figueres, they are, Perpignan, Girona and Barcelona.
