If you’re spending your holiday in Catalonia, sooner or later you’ll start wondering where to go beyond the famous metropolis of Barcelona<\/a>. Try leaving the crowds streaming toward the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia behind you and discover a region full of surprising medieval contrasts. Girona, Spain pulls you into its story instantly<\/strong> and offers a completely unique atmosphere that the locals guard rather jealously. A real treasure hides around every corner here, and it absolutely deserves your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a city that looks as if time stopped somewhere deep in the Middle Ages. The historic core is a fascinating labyrinth of narrow cobbled lanes<\/strong>, steep stone staircases, and hidden, picturesque little squares. Its raw medieval aesthetic naturally attracted the creators of the hit series Game of Thrones, so you’ll feel as though you’re walking through a real film set. The vast majority of these are ordinary public streets and squares, which you can wander entirely for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One huge advantage is the excellent transport links from every direction. The AVE high-speed train from Barcelona<\/a> arrives here in just 38 minutes<\/strong>, so you can easily pop over even for a short day trip. You’ll manage to tick off the main sights in a single afternoon, but I’d strongly recommend lingering longer and ideally spending the night in town. The magic of the historic centre only truly comes alive after dark, when the tour buses leave and the lanes pleasantly empty out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
