Vacations in Girona
The area and how to find your way around
Located 103 km from Barcelona, Girona has played an important role in history due to its strategic location, a short distance from the Pyrenees. For this reason, it is one of the most interesting cities in Cataluña. Through its monuments, the traveller can travel through more than 2,000 years of history and learn about the most important events that have marked the character and way of life of the area. To do so, you must enter the two fortified enclosures that currently surround the city: the Força Vella, and the medieval widening. It is in both areas where most of the monuments of the town are found.
Força Vella: the Roman origin of GironaIt is the original nucleus of the city, founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC. At this time an imposing fortress was built with an almost triangular layout, very well protected by walls erected with large stone ashlars. Unaltered since the 11th century. The main axis of this nucleus was the current San Lorenzo street, which once formed part of the Via Augusta. We can contemplate the traces of this construction along the Passeig Arqueològic and the Passeig de la Muralla.
Medieval Ensanche: the neighborhoods surrounding the historic centerThe medieval extension is an area corresponding to the extension of the walls carried out during the 14th and 15th centuries. This is how the new neighborhoods around the Força Vella began to emerge. Those of Sant Feliu and Sant Pere to the north, Areny and Vilanova to the south and Mercadal to the west. Protected by new walls, of which there are still some stretches that can be seen along the Camino de Ronda.
Types of travelers and activities
If you are interested in cultural visits, the best option is to find a rental in the historic center of the city, where most of the monumental attractions are concentrated. A very beautiful route that will allow you to contemplate all those historical buildings that are conserved in the locality and that have been witnesses of the numerous events that have marked the evolution of the same one throughout the centuries. But there are also plenty of monumental attractions in other areas. Don't miss the Cathedral, the church of Sant Pere de Galligants and Sant Nicolau, the 12th century Arab baths, the basilica of Sant Feliu, the Jewish quarter and the Monastery of Sant Daniel.
Girona for families with childrenGirona offers a wide variety of leisure activities for the whole family, from botanical gardens to shopping centers and outdoor sports. But in addition, the province has numerous attractions ranging from active tourism activities to charming villages with a lot of personality, such as Besalu or Olot. Without forgetting, of course, the marvellous beaches of the Costa Brava, among which those of Palafrugell, Palamos, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Tossa de Mar or Lloret de Mar stand out. All within an hour's drive. Don't wait any longer to book your rental in Girona.
Did you know that Girona has the smallest square in the world? It is the Plaça del Raïms which was one of the most important focal points of the commercial life of the city for many years.
