Figueres

Whatever it is that gets you going Figueres has it tailor-made for you. There are thousands of years of history to discover and all there is to see and experience in just one city. Make no mistakes about it, Yeah!  It will astound you. Figueres offers also a life experience of events of a period far back in time, which awakes unconscious appreciation for incongruous images, art and literature of an immeasurable scale. Indeed, it is like living a dream under the magical influence of surrealism but in the presence of real-time circumstances. Certainly, it is very amusing to call a city intoxicating but that is exactly what Figueres is, it is nothing short of mind-blowing and the zest for living and infectious candour of its extraordinary people would beckon you to be part of its continual celebration, and it will, I am sure of it, have you soon drinking from the merrymaking glass of passion for life.  Yeah! Figueres is bursting at the seams with alegria and if you don't know what alegria is Figueres is the place to find out.

Iberians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Visigoths, Moors, men and women of good minds in Europe and the world all surrendered, in years gone by, to Figueres’ magical spell, and its exposure to those spicy fusion of luminous cultures provided its people with great assimilation, buoyancy, forbearance and a playful disposition which delights much the fancy and the spirit of the visitors but it must be said that they have worked terribly hard to put a show for all its guests. Therefore, be assured of being received with open arms by amiable people who would be more than pleased to spare you all the time in the world to making your stay an incomparable one. Come and enjoy in full the experience, the zest and passion for life in Figueres.
