Taravaus is a small, peaceful village near Figueres and the Torremirona golf course. The town of Figueres, renowned as the birthplace of Salvador Dalí, is only a half-hour drive from the stunning beaches of the Costa Brava, such as Sant Pere Pescador, Sant Martí d'Empúries, and Empuriabrava. Figueres itself offers numerous attractions, including its historic old town with many shops, restaurants, and cafés, the famous Salvador Dalí Museum, the impressive Sant Ferran Castle, and the Toy Museum, making it a popular destination for visitors.

Figueres, the capital of the Alt Empordà region, is situated on a river plain in the inland province of Girona and is a town deeply rooted in Catalan culture. It is most famous for being the home of world-renowned artist Salvador Dalí, whose legacy can be experienced in the one-of-a-kind Teatro-Museo Dalí. This extraordinary tribute to the master of surrealism is a must-visit for art lovers and anyone intrigued by Dalí’s unique style. But Figueres has much more to offer.

The town boasts a rich cultural scene, enhanced by various museums and a diverse calendar of festivals and events. Walking through the streets of Figueres, visitors can encounter architectural treasures: from the medieval remnants of the city walls to the imposing Sant Ferran Castle, built in the 18th century. With a perimeter of three kilometers, it is one of the largest fortresses in Europe, towering over the city from a hill just outside of town and shaping the city's distinctive landscape.

The historic old town of Figueres is also a highlight. Its winding streets tell stories of past eras, and particularly noteworthy are the neoclassical buildings around Plaza del Ayuntamiento and the remnants of the former Jewish quarter in Carrer Magre. La Rambla, the main promenade and heart of the city, is not only a lively meeting point but also an architectural gem. Here, magnificent buildings in modernist and neoclassical styles line the street, built by the wealthy bourgeoisie in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Among the city's religious buildings, the Church of Sant Pere stands out, originally a Romanesque parish church that was rebuilt in Gothic style in the 14th century and expanded in the 18th century. The Chapel of Sant Sebastià and the Capuchin Monastery, both dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, are also worth a visit.

Figueres' location is another advantage for visitors. Just about 20 kilometers from the stunning beaches of the Costa Brava, the city serves as an ideal starting point for exploring both the cultural heritage and the natural beauty of the region. Nestled between the foothills of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, Figueres offers its guests a unique combination of culture, history, and nature – an unforgettable experience for anyone wanting to discover Catalonia in all its diversity.
