A pleasant discovery.
For too long, Girona has been regarded as a mere crossing point. Many travelers left the international airport behind to reach the Costa Brava, or nearby Barcelona.
In recent times, however, something seems to have changed and, for many, it seems to be the culmination of a holiday. So much so as to carve out an important role from the tourist point of view.
Girona is a city that boasts a thousand-year history. And, its historical and artistic vicissitudes are witnessed by the presence of splendid monuments and buildings: Romans, Arabs, or Carolingians, just to name a few.
A city of incredible charm, with its splendid bridges, and the evocative Cases penjades, which, as the name recalls, seem to hang on Onyar, its magical river. And it is from the riverside that you can set off to discover this magical city.
