If you want to get the best views of Girona, then Roman Walls is just for you. There you will find numerous watchtowers, from where you can enjoy even better pictures. Come there in the early morning or the late afternoon, and you’ll enjoy a wonderful sunset or sunrise. You can access the walls from three points: the gardens behind the Cathedral of Girona, the Spanish Civil War Memorial, and Monestir de Sant Pere de Galligants. We recommend continuing walking to Monestir de Sant Pere de Galligants, as there are fewer people on this section, and the sights are just stunning from there.

Girona is famous for its cycling routes which are quiet and where drivers are cautious. Greenways are beginner-friendly cycling routes with no traffic. There are four stretches on the Costa Brava: Ripoloi to Olot, Olot to Girona, Girona to Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Palamós to Palafrugell. You can start with a 20 km route from Llagostera to the pretty marina and beach of Sant Feliu de Guíxols.

Bread smeared with tomato and oil is a popular local dish in Girona that is often available at breakfast buffets. Another popular dish is Xuixo — a deep-fried sugar-coated pastry filled with crema Catalana. The places where you can try it are El Celler de Can Roca or Cafe le Bistrot. If you want to finish up with coffee, you can do it at Espresso Mafia and La Fabrica cafes.
