This climate makes it possible to play golf all year round. Golf Culture 52 Pere de Rodes and Ripoll, whose stones speak to us of a thousand years of life and culture. In recent years, through the eyes of artists, especially the masterly Salvador Dalí, we have discovered a new vision of our surroundings, both cultural and scenic, portrayed in priceless creations. Today, the Dalí Triangle, consisting of the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the Gala Dalí Castle-Museum in Púbol and the Dalí HouseMuseum in Portlligat, allows us to take this almost metaphysical journey through a world of tormented nature and idyllic, unique settings. Apart from the Dalí spaces, there are over 55 museums and 550 historic buildings to admire. From the Middle Ages we have exceptional works of architecture like the monasteries of Sant Pere de Rodes and Ripoll, whose stones speak to us of a thousand years of life and culture. Culture Speaking of culture in the Costa Brava and the Pirineu de Girona means going back to the dawn of civilisation. Starting our journey in the very earliest of times, we find megalithic monuments in the Albera and the Gavarres hills, prehistoric caves in Serinyà, the ancient Iberian settlement of Ullastret, and Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Modernist buildings in all of the itineraries. Our coast was visited and inhabited, especially for commercial purposes, by the Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans, who not only left their imprint here but built towns like Empúries, where today we can follow the footsteps of those ancient visitors. From the Middle Ages we have exceptional works of architecture like the monasteries of Sant Golf Cuisine 54 style cooking that is very closely linked to traditional roots. If we spoke in the previous section about culture that can be seen, our cui-sine might be viewed as a culture that can be experienced and enjoyed. Its high professional standards mean that behind every restaurant door you will find an excellent culinary experience, with first-class establishments on the international scale. Each restaurant offers an excellent dining experience. Cuisine Defining what is or isn’t culture is a virtually impossible task. The relationship between culture and cuisine is almost innate, to the point that Salvador Dalí once said, “Art will either be edible or it will not exist”. The cultural side that cuisine represents in our society is experiencing a veritable renaissance, with such notable innovators as Ferran Adrià, among others. Even so, our gastronomy is multiple and varied, and is based on an honest, home- Golf Directory 56 Club de Golf Camprodon CAMPRODON Tel. +34 972 130 125 · Fax +34 972 130 125 [email protected]
