Based on that one experience, I can't recommend it. It's not expensive (else I wouldn't have eaten there), but I still thought my meal was disappointing. The restaurant in the Hotel Duran fancies itself a sort of gourmet spot. I think I may have been the only person getting off the (late) train at Vilafont, and I don't remember seeing taxis waiting at the station-though I may have stopped to use the restroom before heading out. Note that the bus runs to its schedule even if the train is late, so if you aren't prepared to roll your bags for quite some distance, it would be a good idea to have the telephone number of a local taxi or two. Buses to Cadaques depart from near the Figueres Station, as I recall.
I believe the same bus goes on to the regular train station (just called "Figueres"), which is probably a bit closer. It's also close to one of the stops for the bus coming in from the AVE station (Figueres Vilafont)-a distance of roughly 1 mile, I'd guess-but it may have seemed longer than it was since I was pulling a bag. The hotel isn't terribly far from the Dali Theatre-Museum. Honestly, I don't remember anything at all about the room, so I encourage you to do what I did: Go to and read a bunch of reviews. I stayed at the Hotel Duran in Figueres in 2019. However, I gather there are two of you and doubles are usually nicer than singles. I don't often recommend hotels on the forum because I'm cheap and don't mind staying in rooms that are very plain and small. Certainly don't plan to need AC in November (?). Don't mind climbing a flight or 2 for a wonderful location or view. Bigger want is convenience either to transportation or local sights. My target budget is around $100/120 US per night. Have seen many recommendations on the forum for Madrid, which I will check on.īUT - NEED ASSISTANCE finding good hotel options in Cordoba and Figueres. and have selected our hotel for Barcelona (Hotel Continental Palacete). I have the RS guides for Spain - have used it for our last 3 visits (and Portugal). is for R&R before heading home late on the 15th.

That said- Hoping for a first visit to Cordoba, Madrid & Figueres. I'm working with an agency in Portugal (Portugal Trails) for some activities - so am keeping up to date on restrictions/requirements - no deposit reservations. Do have our vaccines complete - so that is off the to-be-done checklist.
