Girona is Northern Catalonia’s largest city. It is a fabulous jewellery box of galleries, museums, Gothic churches and boasts a wonderful dining scene, all sprinkled along a web of cobbled lanes and medieval walls. The Riu Onyar separates the walkable historic centre from the gleaming commercial centre on the west. Visitors can enjoy food tours tasting many different kinds of Jamon Iberico, ice cream from Girona’s most talked about ice cream parlour Rocambolesc, tapas, fish, delicious Palamos prawns and meats. Catalonian cooking is delicious, based picada and sofregit sauces. For several years El Celler de Can Roca was voted the best restaurant in the world! The DO Emporda wines of the area are sensational.
Girona is a paradise to explore on two wheels with hundreds of kilometres of quiet roads and a fantastic network of cycle trails for all levels. The Vias Verdes cycling routes are wonderful, mostly flat using a network of disused railway lines from the mountains of Montseny to the picturesque port towns of the Costa Brava. La Devesa Park in central Girona is wonderful for families, surrounded by three rivers and towering plane trees. There are serious road cycling climbs for the most experienced cyclists.The Sea Otter Europe Bike Show, one of the world’s biggest cycling festivals, features a Granfondo ride.
On the coast, Lloret de Mar is a very popular tourist town with a wide range of entertainment and a beautiful coastline. It boasts an attractive historic centre, beautiful ancient buildings, outstanding shopping, a pretty Old Town and 8 beaches in total. The Church of Sant Roma is very attractive and a popular stop for tourists. The front of the church is in Gothic style built between 1509 and 1522 but inside you will see the art of the Catalan modernism movement. Located on the top of the cliff between Cala Boadella and Fenals Beach, Santa Clotilde Gardens are one of Lloret de Mar’s best kept treasures. Construction on the gardens began in 1917 when the Marquis Roviralta met Clotilde Rocamora but sadly she died before they were complete. He later married his second wife and work resumed though the gardens carry Clotilde’s name. If you enjoy the gardens, you may also want to visit Marimutra and Pinya de Rosa botanical gardens in nearby Blanes. There are some wonderful festivals and events in the Santa Clotilde Gardens including the Clon Festival concert series and the Lloret Outdoor Summer Festival. Throughout Lloret de Mar, visitors enjoy many other festivals and fairs including the Fair of the Americans, Fenaltecs de Musica at Fenals Beach, the Medieval Fair and the annual Carnival. The town comes alive in a thousand colours with parades, costumes, parties and music during the Lloret Carnival. Those that love the outdoors can take to many of the footpaths that trace their way along the coastline or wind their way into the forests. Two sections of the CR92 Mediterranean Trail pass through the town.
For a total change from the buzz and excitement of Lloret de Mar, you can head into Catalonia’s Pyranees, an all-season playground offering raw natural beauty, fantastic skiing and snowboarding, incredible hiking paths to the jewel-like lakes and valleys of the Parc Nacional d’Aiguestortes i Estancy de Sant Maurici, the low-lying countryside of Cerdanya and the dramatic climbing terrain of the Serra del Cadi. With majestic scenery, plunging valleys, snow-dusted peaks, thousand-year-old monasteries, outstanding Romanesque architecture and fabulous gastronomy, hikes within the Catalan Pyrenees uncover so many delights.
Banyoles Lake, where the 1992 Olympic rowing races took place, is an excellent location for picnics. The neighbouring town of La Bisbal is the centre of Catalonia’s ceramics industry so a good place to pick up a few souvenirs. It is also home to the Palace Castle of the Bishops of Girona.
The Costa Brava coastline boasts some incredible beaches. A popular trip is to the idyllic town of Tamariu, embraced by pine clad headlands or the popular, upmarket Llafranc. It is easy to see why it attracts film stars, artists and the rich. Llafranc boasts a fantastic cocktail of chic restaurants and bars, authentic fishing boats, inviting turquoise waters and luxury yachts, all surrounded by glorious fragrant pine trees.
