Guide of Girona

Girona is a city still waiting to be discovered, located at the northeasternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, between the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean Sea, and Barcelona. Only in recent years has it begun to carve out a place for itself on the Spanish tourist circuit.

Although founded by the Romans, it is the city with the greatest Medieval heritage in the entire province and one of the cities that will most surprise visitors as a whole.

Divided in two by one of its four rivers, the Onyar River, any bridge that crosses it leads to the old town. In the heart of this district you will find the Jewish Quarter (El Call), one of the best-preserved medieval Jewish quarters in Europe, with its narrow, winding cobbled streets.

Next to El Call stands the Cathedral of Girona, one of the most impressive in Catalonia, with its grand staircase welcoming visitors. In the same area you will find the city’s main monuments and museums: gardens, walls, palaces, arcaded squares… Everything can be visited on a pleasant walk that will not leave you indifferent.

Visit this small city that is still not overcrowded; although the number of tourists is ideal for exploring the city and its monuments without queues or the inconvenience of large tour groups. Companies such as ours, Girona Experience, can take small groups of visitors, thus ensuring the highest quality of service.
