The Costa Brava, blighted by dreary pockets of mass tourism, still boasts much of the wild beauty that first drew visitors here. Just inland are the medieval city of Girona and Figueres, home of the ‘theatre-museum’ of that city’s zany son, Salvador Dalí.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1EyhlhDIHUXxaOg_dlRY-bgUbPJm8yH-YnHnFi6m_bUA_ZL6B70Hrz8i0G6LE1RkceK08meFfvMqLu0sCFPZzE0vrwVOmalP-4Z56gCfzn_sVNhinJJYG6zdOeXmhHkNRTj3XrlzUWtC/s1600/Catalonia+Spain+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq1EyhlhDIHUXxaOg_dlRY-bgUbPJm8yH-YnHnFi6m_bUA_ZL6B70Hrz8i0G6LE1RkceK08meFfvMqLu0sCFPZzE0vrwVOmalP-4Z56gCfzn_sVNhinJJYG6zdOeXmhHkNRTj3XrlzUWtC/s200/Catalonia+Spain+3.jpg" width="200" /></a>Running across the north, the Pyrenees rise to mighty 3000m peaks from a series of green and often remote valleys, dotted with villages that retain a palpable rural and even medieval air.<br />These mountains provide some excellent walking and skiing.
