Girona, is the main city of the well known Costa Brava. The city of Girona is small and condensed, so it hides numerous corners rich in history and full of legends, in a very little space. The city was put on the world gastronomic map by the starred Roca brothers. We suggest you to stay in Girona for a few days and explore the city and its surroundings with the calm it deserves.

Girona, Essential tour

Girona is a fascinating city. The Jewish quarter (El Call), the imposing Cathedral or the charming colorful houses along the river, fill the postcards. But the gastronomy deserves a separate chapter: contact us if you want a visit focused on Rocambolesc sweets, Casa Cacao‘s chocolate or the incredible Xuxos, typical of the city!

Girona is a wonderfully rich city, from its history and religion, to its culture and art. The city’s oldest neighbourhood remains closely tied to the 14th to 17th century period in which its structure was consolidated. It’s such a historical capsule in fact, that the famous TV show Game of Thrones chose the city as a film location. Catholic churches from the 12th century, walls from Roman times. Moreover one of the most interesting old Jewish neighbourhoods in Spain. The typical postcard features the quaint coloured houses alongside the river. Among the many city bridges, it outstands the one designed by Gustave Eiffel. And these are just some of the surprises you can expect to experience in this quaint city.

For those particularly interested in Jewish heritage, one hour away by car from Girona, we find Besalú. A charming village that combines medieval catholic and civil architecture (the astonishing bridge for example) with one of the best-preserved mikveh in Spain.
