I live in a welcoming flat, quiet and with a lot of daylight. It is situated in front of a park with monumental trees call "Devesa". It is the biggest park in Catalonia. There are all types of services near and easy to reach by foot (supermarkets, shops, public pool, rail and bus station, bars and restaurants, museums, a weekly market...). You can go walking to visit the awesome old part of Girona with historical monuments, narrow streets and museums.
Many tourists come throughout the year to spend the holidays in Girona. And this is because we have a lot of attractive activities to offer: all types of outdoor sports (cycling, running, walking, golf, horse riding,...), an amazing gastronomy, festivals and cultural events, wine routes,...
I absolutely recommend you visit Girona to the exhibition of flowers, monuments, patios and gardens "Girona temps de flors" in May. The website below.
Other attractive visits: Barcelona (100 km), beach (35 km), Teatre Museu Dalí in Figueres (30 Km), villages and landscapes of Baix Empordà (Peretallada, Palafugell...), Pyreeness Mountains (80 km), Besalú (historic village), Costabrava villages and beaches (Cadaqués, Begur, l'Escala...).
My family lives very close and I am sure they would be very pleased to help you or even guide you if you need or as you want during the interchange.

I pobably travel with a friend or a family member.
