Girona

Located in Spain’s northeastern Catalonia, Girona enchants with its unique history, amazing food and Catalan charm. In this ancient city, you can wander the maze-like streets of the medieval Old Town, climb the centuries-old city walls for stunning panoramic views and explore the Jewish Quarter with its hidden alleyways and whispers of the past. The majestic Cathedral, a symphony of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque styles, takes your breath away. By the river, colourful houses cling to the riverbank, their reflections rippling in the water like a vibrant watercolour painting.

Girona’s culinary scene is a fiesta for your taste buds. Sample traditional Catalan staples like escudella i carn d’olla (a hearty meat and vegetable stew) and xuixo (a sweet, fried pastry), washed down with a glass of locally produced wine. Stroll through bustling food markets, indulge in a tapas crawl through charming plazas or savour Michelin-starred dining experiences. Game of Thrones fans can explore iconic filming locations as Girona served as King’s Landing in the series. For nature lovers, the Devesa Park is a green oasis in the heart of the city. If you’re feeling adventurous, hike to the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone and its surreal landscape of dormant volcanoes and ancient forests.
