We have spent 5 days in Figueres at Elena Maria's place on our holiday across Costa Brava/ Catalonia. In terms of amenities it was the best place. cozy, clean and everything has been thought of. You could find every possible indispensable item in the flat (scissors, firs aid kit, wine opener, instruction how to use washing machine etc) Elena is such a nice considerate host. She has greeted us at the station to give us a drive to her flat and prepared all the information we actually needed about the area starting from local restaurants, shops and train schedules for the hikes in the area. When we went down to the information center later on we decided that the staff there was less clued than Elena and that indeed nothing can be added to the info she already left with us. Figueres is great little town for anyone interested in seeing Salvador Dali's art, try some local cuisine and a great base for the hikes in Cap the Creus/ Cadaques which seems to be the place which inspired all the great Catalonia artists (Dali, Picasso, Miro , Bunuel) Cap the Creus National Park is a very short distance by train or bus. We would recommend Elena's place to anyone and hopefully we will be back one day.
