DRIVE TO FIGUERES
Learning about Salvador Dali
1.5 hours

Your guide and your driver will pick you up at your hotel/apartment and take you to Figueres, driving along a highway that as soon as the industrial suburbs of Barcelona are left behind starts crossing farmlands, pine tree woods and the Montseny mountains, until it reaches the Empordà area where Figueres is located. During the ride, your guide will start filling you in about Dali’s life, so you have a strong background that allows you to understand even better what you are about to see in the museum.
