Girona, Spain Travel Guide a Day Trip from Barcelona

Girona is one of the best day trips you can take from Barcelona. Packed with tons of history and beautiful streets to walk, it’s no wonder Game of Thrones picked Girona as one of its prime filming locations!

    I was in Girona many years ago and I have a memory of a place but I'm not sure if it's in Girona. Is there a place where you have to walk up many steep steps but when you get to the top their is a flat plateau of short grass with one big tree in front of a medieval building, with maybe a museum or something in it?

    Great video, thank you. I’m taking my boys to Palafrugell at the end of August, we’ll be flying into Girona and plan to spend a day there exploring. I was there exactly 30 years ago with my father and have always wanted to return with my own kids. They’re so excited! But not nearly as much as I am!
