    Palma de Mallorca

The church is located between the Almudena Palace and the Bishop's Palace. Entering the main hall, 14 columns stand in the sky, and the tops of the columns are scattered like palm trees.

    "I learned a lot in this museum! a must go for any art lover - be sure to leave at least 2-3 hours to explore everything"
    Figueres
    >100km from Barcelona
    Highlights: The master painter Salvador Dalí founded the world-famous Dalí Museum in his hometown of Figueres in 1974, which is one of the most visited museums in Spain and a destination for art lovers around the world. It houses more than 4,000 works by Dalí (1904-1989), including his early artistic experiments and works, as well as his surrealist works in later years. In addition to paintings, the museum also exhibits sculptures, jewelry, and furniture designed by Dalí. The predecessor of the museum was the ancient theatre of Figueres, which was destroyed by war. The museum was designed by Dali himself, and every detail was scrutinized several times. It was finally opened to the public on September 28, 1974. The building itself is a very imaginative work. Artwork, the transparent mesh dome has become the landmark of Figueres, and the giant eggs standing or falling on the roof of the museum are also very conspicuous. The use of eggs to represent life and change is a frequent image in Dali's works. There are also dolls, bagels and other works of art scattered outside the museum, revealing a strange and mysterious atmosphere. Dali himself called the museum a "surreal world". Walking into it, the decoration of the atrium will make people's eyes shine. The small windows are arranged in a semi-arc shape, like the boxes in the theater. Greetings to the audience, very interesting. There are countless works of Dalí at various stages of creation in the pavilion, not to be missed: Port Alguer, The Girl from Figueres, The Spectre of Sex Appeal, The Spectre of Sex Appeal, SoftSelf-Portrait with Fried Bacon, Galarina, Basket of Bread, Atomic Leda, Apotheosis of the Dollar, Morning, Noon, afternoon and evening" (Dawn, Noon, Afternoon and Evening) and so on. In addition, the Mae West room is also not to be missed. This magical exhibition hall is modeled after the American sexy actress Mae West. The lip-shaped sofa in the room, the oil paintings similar to binoculars, and the curtains shaped like hair make up the room. The vivid face of the actress and the unique design concept have given infinite inspiration to future home designers. The classic "face" shape can be photographed in the small building behind the curtain. Dalí's Jewellery Gallery was established in 2001 and includes 37 sets of gold jewellery, 2 sets of jewellery that are new, and 27 drawings and paintings on paper that Dalí created while designing his jewellery. Dalí died in 1989 and was buried in the basement of the museum's center, which is also used to display gold jewelry designed by the new artist.

    Girona
    86.2km from Barcelona
    Highlights: The Cathedral of Girona, located in the heart of the old town, was built in the 11th century in Romanesque style, then changed to Gothic style in the 13th century.

The cloister of the church is neo-Romanesque, the front facade and main hall are Catalan Baroque, and the side bell tower was built in the 18th century. The very wide Gothic nave is also a symbol of the ideal space of Catalan Gothic architecture. The Church Treasure Museum preserves the complete brocade painting "Genesis" embroidered in Europe between the 11th and 12th centuries, which is very spectacular. The Cathedral is also the location for the filming of the Cathedral of King's Landing in "Game of Thrones".

    "Both playgrounds are super fun. The price is not expensive. Especially the vertical roller coaster at Ferrari Park is really an extreme experience, accelerating to 180km/h in 5 seconds, falling 70 meters vertically, stimulating the explosion.

Toulouse is the seat of Airbus headquarters, in fact, the office and production workshop, here security guards, you can only visit along the designated route, about 1 and a half hours, by the interpreter introduced the entire production process, very shocking.
