Experience the best of Girona
Girona, in Catalonia, is a compact medieval city of stone lanes, a Jewish quarter and coloured houses on the Onyar River, inland from the Costa Brava.

Girona rises on a hill above the Onyar River, with tall coloured houses hanging over the water along the bank, a view photographed from the Eiffel Bridge, built by Gustave Eiffel's workshop. Above them, a stairway of ninety steps climbs to the cathedral, whose single Gothic nave is among the widest in the world. The old city walls can be walked for views over the rooftops.
The Jewish quarter, the Call, with its tight lanes, is among the best preserved in Europe, and a museum tells the story of the community. The twelfth-century Arab Baths, in a Romanesque style inspired by Moorish models, stand nearby. Beyond the city, the coves of Begur and Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava lie to the east, Pals and Peratallada are medieval villages, Besalú has a Romanesque bridge, and Figueres, with the Dalí theatre-museum, is to the north.
Catalan cooking brings botifarra sausage, suquet de peix, a fish stew, and crema catalana, and xuixo, a sugared cream-filled pastry, is the Girona sweet. The Empordà region makes wine, and the Temps de Flors festival in May fills courtyards and churches with flowers. The climate is mild, with hot summers.
