Day 7 - Figueres and Besalú
Figueres is our first destination today, where we visit the
fascinating Salvador Dalí Foundation. The gallery, designed by Dalí
himself and built on the ruins of a former municipal theatre, is
the largest surrealist object in the world and exhibits various
collections of the surrealist's work, including drawings,
sculptures, jewellery, photography and paintings, from different
periods of his life. Afterwards, you're free to continue exploring
Figueres before we transfer to Besalú - a grand old town dominated
by its magnificent, 11th-century fortified bridge. Perhaps visit
the remains of the monastery of Sant Pere. Belonging to the
Benedictine order, it was founded in 977 and was built in Basilica
style. There are several other churches and synagogues for you to
explore, or you may want to hop on the tourist train for a scenic
tour of the town.
