Figueres - How far is Figueres?
Figueres is a 30 minute drive north of Girona, or 45 minutes by bus or train. It hosts the mind-boggling Salvador Dali Museum, complete with surreal sculptures and art works. Even the buidling itself is an eye-opener, decorated as it is by Dali's loaves of bread and eggs on each corner. It's the third most popular museum in Spain, beaten in the popularity stakes only by the Guggenheim in Bilbao and Madrid's Prado. The entrance queues can be horrendous, so an early arrival is highly recommended.
