Not as touristy as Barcelona, the city offers a relaxing atmosphere, quiet cafes, an historic Old Town and square, and even a castle.

Walking up from the Hotel Emporda is a treat in itself. There is a 3.5km footpath all around the perimiter of the fort. Well worth the walk with marvellous view. Tak water, the walk lasts around 60 to 90 minutes depending on how often you stop. DIRECTIONS - go to the Hotel Emporda - take the road opposite and follow to the top. At the top there is a T junction - turn left - follow the road then dirt track up the hill. You come out at the car park / main entrance. Lovely healthy walk

It is worth getting to see this museum, despite the large amount of tourists. The "crazy" creativity and variety of materials and subjects Dali chose is wonderful! Also the building in which the museum is located is charming! Don't skip the jewelery section, you haven't seen anything like that .. It's on the exit on the right

Tree-covered plaza/pedestrian mall in the center of Figures, from which many small streets emanate. Small but pleasant with cafes and restaurants in the area.
