Excursion to Girona

If during your vacation you have time to go to Gerona, it is something we advise you to take on, as it is one of those magical cities, a city with a special flair. Something that is striking about this city is that, despite not being very large, it houses a large number of monuments and areas to visit. This tells us how important this city was in the past.

 

 An example of this is the Cathedral of Girona, a religious temple built between the eleventh and seventeenth centuries. It is the main tourist attraction of the city; it is visited year after year by millions of visitors from all over the world. Such is the recognition around the world that, in part, thanks to the Cathedral, the capital of Girona was chosen as one of the places where the stories of the famous series of Game of Thrones took place.

 

In addition, the Cathedral is located at the highest point of the old city, better known as "Fuerza Vieja".

In addition to the Cathedral, as we have already mentioned before, there are many other places that we recommend you to visit if you come on vacation to Camping Sènia Tucan:

 

  • “La Muralla”: This is a fortification of defense of the city. This construction is of vital importance to the city due to the border situation of Girona. Something that made the city suffer a large number of attacks throughout its history. It currently serves as the main point of interest of the city. It is worth mentioning the impressive views that you will be able to contemplate. Without a doubt, a picturesque place.
  • Arab Baths: Dating from 1194 and even though during the siege of 1285 it suffered great damage, it can still be perfectly seen due to its reconstruction. The baths have several areas: Firstly, the halls, then the cold room, on the other hand the hot room, the oven and finally the boiler.
  • Jewish Quarter. It is one of the most emblematic areas of Girona. It is an authentic labyrinth of irregular streets and alleys where you can still breathe the past.

 

 

How to go to Gerona?

 

Now that we know that Gerona is a city that you cannot miss if you come to Camping Sènia Tucan, we should consult how you can get there from the campsite. There are several options:

With your own car: If this vacation you have decided to come with your car or you have rented one, you can go directly to Gerona. It only takes about 30 minutes and it is easy to find parking in the city. Anyway, at the reception of the campsite they can help you to find the best place to park in Gerona.
