Discovering Figueres by Car: A Blend of Art and Catalan Culture

Figueres, a small city in the northeast of Catalonia, Spain, is famously known as the birthplace of Salvador Dalí. It holds a significant place in the art world and serves as a gateway to the Costa Brava. Renting a car in Figueres allows you to delve into a region where art, history, and Mediterranean landscapes coalesce.

The Convenience of Car Rental in Figueres

Airport Accessibility: The closest major airport is Girona-Costa Brava Airport, approximately 53 kilometers (around 40 minutes) away, while Barcelona-El Prat Airport is around 140 kilometers (about 1 hour and 40 minutes) from Figueres. Both drives are straightforward along well-maintained motorways.

Road Conditions: The road network around Figueres is excellent, with the AP-7/E-15 motorway providing a quick route along the coast, though it is a toll road. For a toll-free journey, the N-II and the A-2 are alternatives that offer scenic routes, especially if you are heading to or from Barcelona.

Local Driving: Within Figueres, the roads are generally in good condition and well-signposted. Parking is available in the town center, with both free and paid options.

Exploration Opportunities: With a car, you're free to explore the rugged beauty of the Costa Brava, the charming villages of Catalonia, and the French border, which is only about a 40-minute drive north.

Attractions Within Driving Distance from Figueres

Renting a car provides the flexibility to explore Figueres and its surroundings at your own pace:

  • Dalí Theatre-Museum: Located in the heart of Figueres, this is the largest surrealistic object in the world, a must-visit to understand Dalí's work and psyche.
  • Sant Ferran Castle: Just a short drive from the city center, this fortress is one of the largest in Europe and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.
  • Cadaqués: Around 40 kilometers to the east, this coastal town is a white-washed Mediterranean gem, and also home to Salvador Dalí's house in Portlligat.
  • Besalú: This well-preserved medieval village is about 30 kilometers south-west of Figueres and boasts a famous 12th-century Romanesque bridge.
  • Costa Brava Beaches: The entire coastline is dotted with beautiful beaches and coves, from the family-friendly Sant Pere Pescador to the secluded Aiguablava.

Figueres Car Rental Policies

When hiring a car in Figueres, make sure to review:

  • Insurance: Check what is included and consider additional insurance like a Collision Damage Waiver for extra peace of mind.
  • Excess: Understand the amount that will be pre-authorized on your credit card for the security deposit.
  • Car Options: Select any additional features needed, such as child seats, GPS, or extra driver coverage.
  • Deposit and Payment: Be aware of the deposit requirements and what payment methods are accepted.

Breakdown Assistance: Your rental will include breakdown assistance, ensuring that help is on hand should you encounter any issues.
