Walking - What is the area like for walking?
Walkers are spoilt for choice:
- Girona itself is best explored on foot, particularly around the old town and along the rebuilt city wall.
- Farmland and wooded hillsides are within a ten minute walk of the cathedral, with one of our favourites being the walk along the Sant Daniel Valley, climbing into the hills surrounding Girona, following the old pilgrim trail up to the ruins of the monastery of Sant Miguel. This three hour return walk provides dramatic views of the Bay of Roses hundreds of feet below.
- The Costa Brava offers some very attractive coastal walking, very much along the lines of Cornwall (in south west England).
- A little further afield, day trips to the Cap de Creus Natural Park, Montseny Natural Park and the Pyrenees Mountains provide some stunning walking scenery. (We have a number of walking guide books and local maps which you are more than welcome to make use of during your stay).

Lovely apartment and neighbours. For a breathtaking drive try the C-25 to Montserrat - pine forested mountains, misty villages and at the finish, the monastery. To avoid the parking nightmare at the foot of the monastery, take the funicular from Aeri de Montserrat. Don't go on a Sunday though! Portbou is also well worth a visit - tranquil and friendly.
Enjoyed a trilingual peotry reading at the bar.
