We have our home in Girona, the capital of a major touristic area on northern Catalonia, 80 km north from Barcelona, 33km from Costa Brava beaches, close to the Pyrenees, 40 km southbound from the French border.
On the close surroundings, you'll find great areas for hiking, horse riding, golf courses, biking routes, medieval towns (Girona itself counts with a great Medieval Gothic and Jewish quarter known worldwide) plus great gastronomy and cultural events all year round. And don't forget that Barcelona is reached in less than an hour by car on highway (also trains and buses each hour). In few words, a privileged site on the Mediterranean area. Enjoy it!!!
