Why book a letting in Girona?

Girona is a city that stands out for the attractiveness the big capitals give off, but without losing the charm of the small towns. The simple fact of strolling through the city, getting lost in its streets and porticoed squares and contemplating the beauty of its monuments and museums is already a real pleasure. During your stay, you can participate in its wide range of cultural and leisure activities. Don’t forget to savour the excellent cuisine and try to cook some in your holiday letting in Girona. Girona is an ideal city to visit any time of the year. As it does not depend economically on sun and beach tourism, it is not empty in winter like other cities of the Costa Brava. Hence, it’s a perfect destination to enjoy everything that a small city can offer and, at the same time to escape tourist crowds and the hustle and bustle of the coast. Book your holiday rental in Girona today and enjoy a complete stay.

Girona: a city with more than 2,000 years of history

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, you can travel through more than 2,000 years of history and learn about the most important events that have marked the area's character and way of life. To do so, you must enter the two fortified enclosures that currently surround the city: Força Vella, and the medieval widening. It is in both areas where most of the town's monuments are found. Visitors with holiday rentals in Costa Brava can take time to experience the history of the region.

Força Vella: the Roman origin of Girona

It 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. It’s 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 neighbourhoods surrounding the historic centre

The 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 neighbourhoods 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. They are protected by new walls, of which some stretches still can be seen along the Camino de Ronda. If you are a history lover, you should also consider getting a holiday rental in Cadaques. You can enjoy fascinating history reflected in the architecture or visit the famous Casa-Museo de Salvador Dali.

Girona for those who enjoy cultural visits

If you are interested in cultural visits, the best option is to book a holiday letting in Girona at the historic centre of the city, where most of the monumental attractions are concentrated. A beautiful route that will allow you to contemplate all those historical buildings in the city. 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. Another city that matches Girona in culture is Lloret de Mar. Get a holiday rental in Lloret de Mar and explore museums and medieval castles as you overlook the sea.

Girona for families with children

Girona offers a wide variety of leisure activities for the whole family, from botanical gardens to shopping centres and outdoor sports. In addition, the province has numerous attractions, ranging from active tourism activities to charming villages with many personalities, 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.

1. Enter Girona's past through its monuments

The city is characterised by being designed on a human scale, so it is very affordable to be travelled on foot. Without a doubt, the best way to get to know the history of Girona is to visit its impressive monuments. Consider visiting the Basilica of San Feliu, the Cathedral of Girona, the University of Sant Domènec and the houses of the Onyar. You will marvel at the buildings of modernist architecture and its peculiar Jewish quarter. Even if you have a villa in Blanes, the one-hour drive isn’t long for a history lover.

2. Enjoy the river crossing the bridges of Girona

The town has a multitude of bridges over the Onyar River. The most important is the Pont de Ferro, designed by Gustave Eiffel, but also very interesting is the Pont de la Princesa, or the mythical and majestic Pont de Pedra. From all of them, you can get a beautiful view of the colourful houses located on the banks of the river.

3. Visit the house of Rafael Maso

This is the residence in which the Noucentista architect lived, located on the banks of the river Onyar. The façade is white and has blue windows. The only drawback is that it can only be visited by booking the guided tour that must be booked in advance. However, it is something you should not miss if you love art and architecture.

4. Eat in the most romantic corner of Spain

The Cafe Bistrot is located in a unique place: the stairs of Sant Marti. This restaurant serves delicious dishes for a very affordable price, so in addition to enjoying a romantic meal in pairs, you can delight in some of the most typical delicacies of the area. If you have a villa in L ‘Estarit, you should consider making a day trip to Girona for a taste of seafood and delicious cuisines.

5. Try the best ice cream in the world

In the centre of Girona is the famous Jordi Roca ice cream parlour, Rocambolesc. Of course, there's no shortage of the usual flavours, but you can also enjoy a wide variety of ice creams you've never tasted. Enjoy the incredible textures and the ability to choose from a wide variety of toppings. All of them are delicious, so once you try them, you'll want to repeat them a thousand times more. Will you be able to pick a single flavour?
