• Cadaqués — a nice seaside town that also houses one of Dalí's homes
• Calella de Palafrugell - scenic fishing town
• Cantallops — a compact mountain town with two wineries and some good restaurants
• Cap de Creus — the eastern end of Spain; incredibly windy, but worth a trip to experience it, the lighthouse and the view out the sea
• Castellfollit de la Roca — further West than Besalú, but worth the trip as it's a striking town perched along a narrow sliver of rock jutting out in to a canyon
• Figueres — home to the Dalí museum
• Hostalric — an old walled town south of Girona
• Lloret de Mar — a beach resort with a reputation for its nightlife
