Girona, a lot more than a town with a large airport<\/span><\/h2>\n

The town of Gi<\/strong>rona<\/strong>, not to be confused with the province of Girona<\/strong> bearing the same name and with Girona as its capital, is also called Girona in Catalan. The town of Girona also belongs to the autonomous region of Catalonia<\/strong> and has around 100,000 inhabitants<\/strong>. The town of Girona is located about 100 kilometres north of Barcelona<\/a> and is crossed by the rivers Ter and Onyar<\/strong>. Girona has its own university and a big airport<\/strong> which serves holiday destinations on the Costa Brava<\/a>. Girona is located between the Costa Brava and the foothills of the Pyrenees, and combines the allure of a large town with the familiarity of a small provincial village<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Girona and its eventful history: from one siege to another<\/span><\/p>\n

Girona and its surroundings were already populated by Iberian people well before the Roman era. Girona owes its name to the Roman citadel of Gerunda<\/strong>. Like many other regions of Spain<\/a>, Girona was attacked 25 times and conquered 7 times. After the Romans came the Visigoths and the Moors successively until Charlemagne conquered the town in 785 and made it one of his 14 Catalan counties. During the following centuries, the town of Girona was granted the status of a city in the Kingdom <\/strong>of Arag<\/strong>on<\/strong>. In the 12th<\/sup> and 13th<\/sup> centuries, Girona was well known for its prosperous Jewish community, which founded one of the most important Kabbalistic schools in Europe. When the Spanish Inquisition<\/strong> was established in 1492, it put an end to the Judaic era<\/strong>, but even today the well-preserved Jewish quarter attracts thousands of tourists<\/strong> every year. In the 17th<\/sup> century, Girona was occupied by the French royal army, and in 1809 the town was attacked by Napoleon\u2019s troops. In the 19th<\/sup> century, ramparts were built around the town. Henceforth Girona found peace and was able to grow. In recent years, the fortified wall has been restored and partially rebuilt. Today you can walk along the wall in its original state<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Girona and its interesting places are worth visiting.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Girona has a magnificent historic centre<\/strong> with its narrow streets and interior courtyards where it is pleasant to go for a walk. In the centre, you will find many shopping streets<\/strong> and interesting places<\/strong>,<\/strong> but also some good restaurants and terraces<\/strong>. The historic part of the town of Girona is located on a steep hill called the Hill of the Capu<\/strong>ch<\/strong>ins<\/strong>, whilst the rest of the town is rather flat. <\/span>
\n – Part of the wall which protected the town from attacks is well preserved<\/strong>. A walk along the ramparts or on the Passeig de Muralla<\/strong> will enable you to go back in time to the different periods of occupation which Girona had to endure. <\/span>
\n – One of the most beautiful squares in Girona is without doubt the Plaza de la Independencia<\/strong>, an animated square with friendly restaurants with terraces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The town of Girona has great cultural wealth.<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

– Girona is well known for its houses overlooking the R<\/strong>iver Onyar<\/strong> and the bridges over the river. Its colourful houses<\/strong> are particularly visible when you go under one of these bridges. <\/span><\/p>\n

– Most of the narrow streets of Girona lead to the great cathedral of Girona<\/strong>. The Mallorcan Jaume Fabre started building the current cathedral in 1312 on the ruins of the original church, which was used as a mosque by the Moors. The gold and silver altar dates back to the 14th<\/sup> century and reflects the life of Jesus and Mary, a gothic work of art by Spanish goldsmiths of that period. The current cathedral is a perfect example of Spanish Gothic architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Some other beautiful churches in Girona are the I<\/strong>glesia Sant Feliu<\/strong>, a 14th<\/sup> century Gothic church built on 4th<\/sup> century catacombs, and the Roman Church of Sante Pere de Galligants<\/strong> which today houses the provincial archaeological museum<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Next to the cathedral you will find the 12th<\/sup> and 13th<\/sup> century A<\/strong>rab baths complex<\/strong>. In the 16th<\/sup> century these baths were used as laundries by the nuns. Restoration work was begun in 1929 when these Arab baths were put on the list of monuments.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Not far from the cathedral, there is a magnificent green valley<\/strong>, the Vall de Sant Daniel<\/strong>. Many writers and poets have found their inspiration here. Come and relax and enjoy nature<\/strong> and its pleasant little shaded corners.<\/span><\/p>\n

– When you cross the Stone Bridge<\/strong> on the Onyar, you will see the Rambla de la Llibertat<\/strong> on your left. It is pleasant to go shopping<\/strong> in this street along the river. There are often street shows and processions, too. This Rambla leads you directly to the Jewish quarter. <\/span>
\n – The Call Jueu<\/strong> Jewish quarter<\/strong> is the best-preserved Jewish quarter in Spain, and it reflects the atmosphere of the Sephardic community which lived there for more than 600 years. In the 13th<\/sup> century, more than 7% of the population of Girona was Jewish, and they founded the first Kabbalistic school in Spain. The Calle de la For\u00e7<\/strong>is a series of narrow streets, stairways, green areas and hidden patios. For several centuries, this part of the town was forbidden to non-Jews. The small shops have not changed at all and look as if time stopped here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Girona for all those who love museums.<\/span><\/h2>\n

– The town\u2019s Museo d\u2019<\/strong>H<\/strong>istoria<\/strong> gives a good overview of the history of Girona throughout the years. <\/span>
\n – The Museo d\u2019Arqueologia de Catalunya Girona<\/strong> is a provincial museum inside a Roman monastery. This museum is in the Barri Vell district and attracts many tourists of all ages. <\/span>
\n – The Museu d\u2019Art<\/strong> displays 8,500 works from the Pre-Roman period until today. It is interesting to know that all these works of art were created in the province of Girona. <\/span>
\n – The M<\/strong>useum<\/strong> of Jewish History<\/strong> will take you back in time and teach you everything about the history of the Jewish community from mediaeval times until their eviction by the Spanish Inquisition in 1492. <\/span>
\n – The Cathedral Museum <\/strong>displays the cathedral\u2019s gems. <\/span>
\n – The Museum of<\/strong> cin<\/strong>e<\/strong>ma<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Low-cost airline companies like Ryanair bring a great many tourists here on their way to holiday destinations on the Costa Brava, only 20 minutes from Girona Airport. Thanks to its central location and direct connections by car, bus and train, this airport is also an ideal starting point for visiting Barcelona, the Pyrenees and Andorra. Girona also has its own railway station with connections to Saragossa, Barcelona and other towns in Catalonia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shopping in Girona<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you go shopping in Girona, let yourself be tempted by regional natural products<\/strong> like anchovies from L’Escala, wine from l’Empord\u00e0 Brava, honey from the local region, local cold meats, cheese, meat, duck, goose and game, but also La Bisbal ceramics, fruits of the forest, Comprodon biscuits and leather and leather products from the region.<\/span><\/p>\n
