If you have extra time, add a half‑day in Figueres to fully explore the Dalí Museum or extend your stay in Barcelona to visit Montjuïc and the beach. To shorten the trip, skip the Dalí stop and take a direct Barcelona‑Pamplona night train, saving both time and €30 on the extra leg. Booking tickets 2–3 months in advance secures the best fares, and a Eurail Pass covering France and Spain can further reduce costs if you plan additional journeys.
