Food Tour in Girona
The food scene in Girona is best discovered on foot — start at Girona Cathedral and Baroque staircase to taste what makes this city's culinary identity distinct. Tuck into lesser-known corners like Devesa Park for the dishes visitors rarely find. From morning market runs to late-night street food, every neighborhood here has its own flavor.
Girona is a compact gem that many visitors pass through on the way to the Costa Brava without realizing what they are missing. The colorful houses reflected in the Onyar River create the city's signature postcard view. The old town climbs steeply from the river through the medieval Jewish Quarter (El Call), one of the best-preserved in Europe, a tangle of stone alleys and courtyards that evoke eight centuries of Sephardic history. The Cathedral of Girona, reached by an imposing 90-step Baroque staircase, has the widest Gothic nave in the world. The city walls are walkable, offering views across the rooftops to the Pyrenean foothills. The Arab Baths, a 12th-century bathhouse inspired by Moorish design, and the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants add to the medieval atmosphere. Game of Thrones fans will recognize several locations used as Braavos.
