Girona city is the provincial capital of Girones, a 'comarca' or county in the north east of Catalonia, a semi-autonomous region of Spain.
As a tourist or brief visitor to Girona there's an underrated little city waiting to be discovered. Most visitors just fly into its small airport and journey on to one of the many resorts on the Costa Brava coastline. But, miss the chance to spend some time in Girona and you will miss seeing and experiencing the different pace of life. Step away from the package-tour destinations and savour some of Gironas' varied offerings!
As cities go it's quite small with only a population of about 100,000. Spanish isn't the only official language, but also Catalan. Girona is how the Catalans spell it, Gerona in Spanish. It was recently mentioned by the Spanish press as one of the best places to live in the whole of Spain!
Girona has had a long and varied history that's included the Romans who called the place Gerunda and used it as a vital trade route. It later became a Catholic country and in the 12th century had a thriving Jewish community which was later expelled in 1492 by the Spanish monarchs of the time. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was to fall under siege many times to different armies, the most notable was under Napoleon in 1809. But, by the 19th century the city walls had been demolished as the city expanded beyond it's old limits. However, modern day Girona still retains a rich, cultural heritage.
