Figueres

As the capital of Alt Emporda, it is a busy commercial town, an important communication centre as well as Dali´s birthplace. There is an spectacular museum dedicated to him which is the meeting place of many visitors who come to the town.

Other interesting attractions in Figueres include the Catalonia Toy Museum, which displays all kinds of miniature toys made by the world's most prestigious toymakers, the Empordà Museum, whose collection ranges from archaeological finds from Empúries and Ullastret to 20th-century paintings by Vayreda, Tàpies or Cuixart, and the Museum of Naïf Art in El Far d'Empordà.

@CC
Hello CC, To travel from Sitges to Barcelona Airport (specifically Terminal 2), you can take a train but there is no direct train service. Here's how you can do it: Take the R2 Sud train from Sitges: This line runs directly to El Prat de Llobregat station. The train departs frequently from Sitges, and the trip to El Prat de Llobregat takes about 30-35 minutes. Transfer at El Prat de Llobregat: Once you arrive at this station, you need to switch to the R2 Nord train heading to Barcelona Airport (Aeroport T2). This is a short ride of around 6-7 minutes. The overall journey from Sitges to Terminal 2 at Barcelona Airport takes roughly 50-60 minutes, depending on wait times between connections. The trains are generally punctual and frequent, so it’s a convenient option. Best,

      ville intéressante à visiter,surtout le vieux quartier proche du musée Dali.
      seul soucis, il n'est pas facile de trouver une place de parking et la circulation en ville est assez compliquée.
