FULL VISIT TO THE DALÍ MUSEUM (Figueres).
Salvador Dalí is undoubtedly, with Joan Miró, the most international of all Catalan artists. He was born in a very well-known province in the region of Girona named the Alt Empordà, which has always been associated with art and lately, thanks to Dalí and the propagation of the "empordanesa" idiosyncrasy, surrealism. The Dalí Museum in Figueres has some of the most important and interesting work of the artist, from drawings to sculptures and the emblematic Mae West work.
