Hi all,
I'll be staying at a resort in callela, costa brav area. and was wondering how i could get to girona to see the sites there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
It's possible to go by railway to Girona. For this you travel with Renfe Cercanias to Macanet-Massanes, after this you go with the regional train to Girona.
thank you so much for your prompt reply!! :) Do you know how long the journey will take? and also is there much to see or do if we come on sunday for the day?
thank you very much. :)
Calella to Maçanet is around 30 min (Renfe cercanias), and from here to Girona another 25 min (Renfe Barcelona/Girona regional).
Look at www.girona.cat/turisme/eng/activitats.php for some info about the city and what you would like to do and then check about sunday activities.
where to stay: PENSIÓN MARGARIT... nothing great or special, but good location fom train&bus station, cheap and friendly hostess
what to visit: have a walk to old town centre, accross the river from the "new" town. streets around the cathedral are worth to see, there's a nice view of the Pyrinees... maybe a good exhibition in Fundación La Caixa. the streets show medieval reminders of the town... nice cafeterias by the river
The University of Girona (Universitat de Girona) was established in 1446 by the king Alfons el Magnanim who started studies of the Rethorics, Philosophy, Teology, Law and Medicine in this city.
Today the University of Girona (UDG) is a modern university with over 12 000 students studying at five campus. The UDG consists of nine faculties and nine superior schools.

Girona is located in northern Catalonia, just 60kms away from the french border.. if visit barcelona without speaking catalan is easy and doesnt entail a problem, Girona is quite different. Expect that everybody talk to you in catalan as a first speech in restaurants, bars or in the streets because the catalan roots are so so deep here.. more even than in Barcelona
If you really want to make this trip unfforgetable, don't miss Salvador Dali's museum. It's located in a small village called Figueres, and it's an amazing museum and the village is very lovely!!
Don't miss it....
