Figueres: a city close to the French border
Located a few kilometers from the French border, Figueres is a city in northern Catalonia. Famous for two of its sons, Narcís Monturiol, the inventor of the submarine, and the very famous Salvador Dalí, the city of Figueres is very appreciated by art lovers. This beautiful municipality offers a rich architectural heritage. In fact, in the Middle Ages, Figueres was a fortified city, protected by a huge wall. You can see the remains in the Dalí Theatre-Museum.
A new place for art lovers
It is impossible to talk about Figueres without mentioning the great Salvador Dalí. In fact, it was he who had the museum named after him built in the place of the city's old theater. This museum is one of the most visited in the world! The city also has two other museums: the Toy Museum and the Museum of Empordà (ethnic and contemporary art). You should also know that many events are organized throughout the year to discover the heritage of Figueres.
Figueres and its gastronomy
The Empordà's tradition of PDO winemaking dates back to antiquity and continues to this day. In fact, the wines produced in this region are among the best in the world!
Two events not to be missed:
- In September, the "Muestra del vino del Empordà", an event featuring wine tastings and other local specialities;
- The Vivid Festival, which takes place throughout the Costa Brava in April.
Lower prices than in France
Although prices in Spain have risen again in recent months, property prices are still lower than in France. On the Costa Brava, property prices are still attractive. This is one of the reasons why so many French investors choose to buy on the other side of the Pyrenees. To find out more, please contact us.
