Girona holidays - Costa Brava

Ideally located multicultural city

Pine-covered mountains and lush vegetation make a holiday in Girona with The Co-operative Travel one where refreshment and relaxation take top billing.

Enjoying an accessible location, within easy reach of the Costa Bravan coast, the French border less than an hour away, and the regional capital Barcelona around a 90-minute drive.

The ancient city of Girona is ideally situated in Catalunya, with the rugged coastline of the Costa Brava a short distance away, the French border less than an hour's drive and Barcelona 90 minutes to the south.

The city is split into two contrasting halves by the river Onyar, and is known as the birthplace of the Kabbalah spiritual movement and a very multicultural city. As you walk around the city you’ll see the many river bridges, among them one designed by Gustav Eiffel, the man who created the iconic Parisian Tower.

You’ll have plenty of choice on a package holiday or all-inclusive holiday in Girona, with the rich landscape affording lots of opportunities to take in a wealth of unspoilt natural and man-made features.

This prosperous modern city has also developed a thriving nightlife, which acts as a magnet for many young Spaniards. Chilling out in a tapas bar with a few snacks and a drink also offers a more relaxing proposition if the pace of the nightclub scene isn’t for you.

More peaceful escapes are on offer if you choose to explore the neighbouring fishing villages, which again offer a variety of good quality restaurants serving authentic local cuisine.

A Girona holiday from The Co-operative Travel really does appeal to all ages, and the harmony in which they all co-exist is testimony to the city’s enduring quality.
