What to take with you for What to take with you for Figueres Sant Pere Church
For the Figueres day trip I pack a small 10L rucksack with a fleece jersey and if the weather forecast says rain, a waterproof poncho.
You may be asked to remove your hat before entering Sant Pere Church. Equally you may be denied entry if under dressed (Miniskirts, hot pants, see through clothes etc). However when I visited there were no staff inside.
Access to the church is step free from street level with wide isles and no level changes inside.
