Barcelona - The capital and main city of Catalonia with a wealth of attractions.
Besalú - A very old town to the West of Figueres that has a historic bridge.
Cadaqués - A nice seaside town that also houses one of DalÃ's other homes for those wanting to see more Dalà history.
Cantallops - A compact mountain town with two wineries and some good restaurants.
Cap de Creus - The Eastern end of Spain. Incredibly windy, but worth a trip to experience it, the lighthouse and the view out the sea.
Castellfollit de la Roca - Further West than Besalú, but worth the trip as it's a striking town perched along a narrow sliver of rock jutting out in to a canyon.
Girona - While most people will do a day trip from Girona or Barcelona to Figueres, one can also do the opposite and make days trips to the wonderful town of Girona from Figueres.
Torroella de Montgrà - A pleasant old town that was once the capital of the Empúries kingdom. Now it sits at the base of a mountain that goes up to a castle. A good day hike for those inclined.
