A trip back in time to the Middle Ages

About Girona

 

WHAT CAN WE DO IN GIRONA:

  • Medieval Baths. Romanesque building that follows the Arab Bath style. Really pretty and quiet, and it doesn’t take long to visit. OPEN: Everyday.
  • Walk along the medieval city walls. If you can take a few steps up here and there, I love strolling along the gardens of the walls to get a better idea of the city past (takes around 20-30min). OPEN: Everyday.
  • Cathedral. Famous for its gorgeous 1000yo Tapestry of Creation, a beautiful cloister and an impressive Gothic interior (30min approx). OPEN: Everyday, but on Sunday visit of the museum and the cloister only.
  • Jewish Section – Call. We’ll wander around its narrow streets discovering the history of splendor and destruction of the local medieval community (15-30min). OPEN: Everyday.
  • Museum of History of the Jewish. For those interested in getting a deeper insight of the local Jewish heritage, this visit is strongly recommended (30min to 1h). OPEN: Everyday.
  • Medieval Alleys and Squares. A pleasure on its own, just walking around the rest of the Old Town enjoying its history, picturesque corners and lively legends, and maybe have a look at its great shops. OPEN: Everyday (except shops, closing on Sun).
  • Gourmet Girona. Let me tempt you with the local foody secrets: from old shops to new venues, and of course we won’t miss the Lleó food market. OPEN: Mon-Sat.

:info: Distance from Barcelona: 1h30min drive.
:info: Accessibility: Cobble-stoned and uphill streets in the Old Town.

:?: DID YOU KNOW… That in May Girona celebrates the “Time of Flowers” festival? A great time to visit it!
