1. Basilica of the Sagrada Familia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 163,734 reviews
The Basilica of the Sagrada Familia is a monumental church devoted to the Holy Family: Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Construction began in 1882, based on plans drawn up by the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, and Antoni Gaudi was commissioned to continue the project in 1883. The Temple has always been an expiatory church, built only from donations. As Gaudi said: "The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia is made by the people and is mirrored in them. It is a work that is in the hands of God and the will of the people." In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the site as a minor basilica

4. Dali Theatre-Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7,650 reviews
Instituted in 1974, this museum was built on the remains of the former Figueres Theater, and features a broad range of works of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989.)
Reviewed By Janoshka - Tbilisi, Georgia
With on-line bought tickets (strongly recommended) and a speed train the museum gives good overview of Dali's talents - paintings, sculptures, visual effects in a labyrinth of a "building" that, already impressive from outside, contains garden and a "theater". Despite time limited ticket entry, the place (in October!) was still crowded but as one can move freely around it is not a big problem. Just wander around and enjoy! Worthwhile the visit to otherwise uninteresting town.

Built in the 1930s, this was the summer home of the famous artist Salvador Dalí.

Simply amazing. A beautiful house in a perfect location with the house itself as if Dalí left only yesterday. Good value too. A must.

You must walk the medieval walls of Girona and the towers to see the best views of the city. You really shouldn’t miss this. And if you’re a photographer then all the more reason!
7. Jardines de Santa Clotilde
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,421 reviews
This wonderful garden was landscaped in a setting of great beauty on top of a cliff with breath-taking views over the sea, and it is a fine specimen of the spirit that animated the Noucentista movement in Catalonia - an early twentieth-century movement for intellectual and aesthetic renewal that found a distinguished spokesman in the writer Eugeni d'Ors. The Santa Clotilde gardens were designed in the manner of the dainty yet austere gardens of the Italian Renaissance by Nicolau Rubió i Tuduri at the age of twenty-eight, when he was still brimming over with admiration for his master in the art of landscape gardening, Forestier.

Spent 1 week on this beach in June and 1 week in October and have to say we love the beach yes it’s shingles and there’s a bank into the water and then a bit of a shelf in the water (so beware with little ones) but in places there is waves and they are so much fun tumbling you around we had such fun trying to get in and out of the water. Your bather, bikini or shorts will end up full of shingles if you get tumbled though. There’s a little ice cream hut at the end of beach towards Lloret end and the ice creams are lovely and reasonably priced too.

I have never seen so many palm trees in my life than what they offer in Salou. This is a lovely promenade, palm tree lined one after another with makes it a lovely walk, day or night. Plenty of eateries and bars just across the street that lines alongside. I highly reccomend
