The Jewish neighbourhood of Girona is one of the best preserved in Europe. This district located in the heart of the city is full of ancient remains from its Roman and Medieval past. Known popularly as the "Call", this area was home to 1000 inhabitants during the Middle Ages, making it one of the most important Jewish communities in Spain's history. As you explore the pretty narrow streets of the Jewish Quarter, the hometown of Nahmanides, the Medieval Kabbalistic philosopher, you'll visit the spots where the city's 3 synagogues were located, you will find out all about the customs and traditions of the Jewish people. You'll also visit the Museum of Jewish History (guided visit +tickets included) to learn about their way of life. Your guide will then lead you around the labyrinthine streets while explaining the history of the Expulsion of the Jews in 1492, an act that ended 600 years of coexistence. After this visit you'll have newfound knowledge of about the influence that the Jewish community left in Girona.

We have three Dalí museums in the province of Girona—in Figueres, Cadaqués, and Púbol—known as the Dalí Triangle, named after the location of each museum forming a triangle on the map.
Figueres, the capital of the Alt Empordà region, is a cultural destination for most visitors to the province, as it is home to the Dalí Theatre-Museum, one of the most visited museums in Spain and undoubtedly a cultural treasure for this small city near the French border.
Cadaqués, in the Portlligat cove, is home to the Gala-Dalí House-Museum, the only residence where the artist lived with his wife Gala until almost the end of his life. It is very difficult to book, so if you wish to visit, it is advisable to reserve several days in advance.
Púbol is where the Gala Castle-Museum is located, a medieval building that Salvador Dalí gave to his wife Gala and personally decorated and painted for her.
