  • Girona is one of the best day trips you can take from Barcelona. Packed with tons of history and beautiful streets to walk, it’s no wonder Game of Thrones picked Girona as one of its prime filming locations!

      I was in Girona many years ago and I have a memory of a place but I'm not sure if it's in Girona. Is there a place where you have to walk up many steep steps but when you get to the top their is a flat plateau of short grass with one big tree in front of a medieval building, with maybe a museum or something in it?

      Yes, it's nice until the volume of tourism drives you out of your city.

    I’m taking my boys to Palafrugell at the end of August, we’ll be flying into Girona and plan to spend a day there exploring. I was there exactly 30 years ago with my father and have always wanted to return with my own kids. They’re so excited! But not nearly as much as I am!

    My family of four had an incredible day tour of Girona with Patrick last month! So much beauty and history, Patrick really knows his history and how to lead a VIP tour. We met in Barcelona and took a quick train to Girona for the day. Can’t recommend Patrick enough for all things Spain! Thanks for making our Spain trip so memorable Patrick!! 🇪🇸

Other than that, excellent video. Can't wait to visit Girona!

      The sun shines all year long in Barcelona. Dark and uncomfortably cold are not really options. And yes, I have been to these places in every season. Girona specifically has many less people there and is colder, yes.
