Peratallada is a fortified medieval town that’s definitely worth a visit. The town, with its 11th century castle (now home to an amazing luxury hotel), 13th century Romanesque church, gorgeous cobblestone streets and quaint squares, is a popular place for day-trippers who come here to soak up the medieval atmosphere but stick around in the evenings for a romantic dinner at one of the numerous restaurants.

Girona is less than a one-hour drive from Aiguablava (Begur). Often overlooked by tourists, Girona is a gorgeous city located smack in the middle of the confluence of four rivers. As a consequence of its strategic location, Girona was occupied at different times in its history by the Romans, Visigoths, Moors and the French. Its medieval core is still intact, as are large parts of its medieval city walls.

Púbol is another attractive town to visit. The main attraction is the Castell Gala Salvador Dalí, a castle that the great painter bought for his wife, Gala. The castle forms one of the three Dalí attractions in Costa Brava (known as the ‘Dalí Triangle’ and also includes the Dalí Theatre Museum in Figueres and Casa Dalí in Port Lligat).

Monells lies just east of Púbol and is another atmospheric medieval village that’s worth visiting, if only to explore its arched streets and arcades.

Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dalí, is a popular touristic town primarily due to the Dalí Theatre Museum, which the great artist designed himself. I highly recommend a visit to this fascinating museum and the adjacent Jewels Collection.

The charming fishing village of Cadaqués, with its whitewashed houses and gorgeous harbour, is famed as being a favourite haunt for artists and writers, and shouldn’t be missed. It also makes for a great base from which to explore the rest of the peninsula. From here, you can also go on a Cap de Creus hiking and snorkeling tour.
