The Wild Coast or Costa Brava is so called because of the rugged cliffs and treacherous seas that pound the rocks.
Tourist and travelers staying in hotels on Costa Brava because the location is a great starting point to plan a day-trip to Barcelona city or visiting Dali's museum and houses.

Salvador Dali art - jewels in museo Figueres
Salvador Dali jewels
The entrance to jewels part of museum in Figueres begins with Dali's text from 1959: "In jewels, as in all my art, I create what I love. In some you will note an architectonic sense as you will in certain of my paintings; again logarithmic law is evident, again the interrelations of spirit and matter, of time and space."
Your admission ticket will include entrance to this museum, as well as the one next door which houses the Dali Jewels.
Museo of Dali art in Figueres
When you are on vacation in Barcelona or Costa Brava, who wants to spend time inside? But if you have half a day on some cloudy day and an interest in art, I recommend the Salvador Dali Museum in Figueres. . It’s been a few years since I’ve been there, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Most impressive were gigantic “masterworks” by Dali that became even more fascinating when their background and origin were explained to us by a tour guide. And it was also interesting to see works from Dali’s early years — including some art from his boyhood, when it was clear he already had major talent.

Dali's jewel museum Figueres
Later on in his career Dali apparently liked to 'transcend artstic mediums' or basically in this case just make really cool looking jewels using ridiculous amounts of gold and precious stones. These are all displayed in a Dali's Jewel museum next door.
