More about Girona
Situated only hundred kilometers from Barcelona, Girona is a perfect place to visit, especially during the Girona A Cappella Music festival and Flower festival.
Girona is a lovely travel tip you simply must discover, and a great excursion from Barcelona, if you are staying there.
Girona is often just a city you arrive by air just to run further to Barcelona or other destinations.
Many people therefore miss seeing this beautiful city.
It’s more than the A capella and Flower Festival this city has to offer.
Getting there
If you’re coming from Barcelona, take the A7 highway, and the trip will last just less than an hour and a half.
If you’re coming from the central Spain (let’s say Madrid – country’s capital), first you’ll take the A2 highway to Zaragoza, and then A7 from Barcelona to Girona.
With lots of offers of airline companies that fly to Barcelona, you can find budget (low cost) or regular flights from all over Europe.
