Girona Getaways and side trips from Barcelona: Exploring Catalonia (Pyrenees, Costa Brava, Barcelona, South of France)

Planning a trip to Girona (Catalonia) is easy. The city of Girona is ideally situated in north eastern Spain (Catalonia) on the Costa Brava, a short drive to the coast, France and the Pyrenees, and just an hour by train from Barcelona making it perfect for exciting, easy day trips as well as relaxing. Whichever direction you head from Girona city, you pass through medieval villages set in unspoiled countryside. Within 30 minutes the Spanish Mediterranean’s Costa Brava with its dramatic coves and beaches await you. Girona city, itself, is a very well-preserved medieval town of about 80,000 people that has an amazingly beautiful old quarter. It is full of tiny, winding cobblestone streets, pedestrian bridges crossing the river, great shops, charming cafes and restaurants, an incredible Cathedral, Arab Baths, a Roman wall that still surrounds part of the town (you can walk along the top of it for great city views!) and much more.

Guest testimonials

For anyone who has been to bustling Barcelona, Girona is a treat. It has the great location and climate of Barcelona but is more accessible and quaint, with lots of history and a great selection of excellent shops, cafes and restaurants. It is a perfect place to center yourself for taking day trips to the Costa Brava (first time I swam in the Mediterranean!) and lovely villages like Cadaques. (A car is an absolute must) It is also close to France and the Pyrenees. The rental unit on La Barca is a great spot, very comfortable for four but could house six for a few days. It's quiet although centrally located near the historical center of Girona. And everything you need is there--including washer--and a lovely view.
--Patti and Kevin, The Bay Area, California, May 2005

Centrally located near the beautiful square with all of the history and the river; short walk to the newer part of Girona; short walk to the train station; wonderful and cozy tapas bars and cafes just a couple of blocks away, especially the one where we went and toasted our own bread by the fire. The apartment itself is very cozy, bright and sunny with lots of natural light during the day, and has a nice balcony.
--RP and JV, Redwood City, California, March 2005 (first visit to Europe)

We stayed at the La Barca apartment in the dead of winter, and had a terrific time there. The apartment is bright and airy (but not cold) and the colors Susan used to decorate are rich and elegantly European. The apartment arrangement is very convenient, with a generous and open living & dining area, with lovely tall windows, and comfortable bedrooms well away from there. The location is great--It's a quiet street in the old section of Girona, & you can walk to everywhere interesting in the town, and we especially enjoyed romantic riverside walks as the sun set.
