The approach to Siesta in Girona is quite traditional. It will be unusual to find many places open between 14:00 and 17:00 aside from a few bars or eateries, so plan your day accordingly. In Girona, people normally have lunch at about 14:00, whereas dinner time won’t be before 20:00 (and having dinner at 20:00 is even early by local standards). So if you feel hungry before then, just have a merienda (Spain traditional afternoon snack) or ice cream.

It takes around 10 hours to hike from one side of the park to another. Here are some of the most picturesque trekking rails: Lover’s Trail, Rock of the Burned, Long Pool, and Tomb de Sant Maurici. Also, don’t miss the Monte-rebei Gorge in Montsec massif, where rocky cliffs reflect in the river's clear waters, creating a mirror where you can lose the sense of orientation.

Barri Vell neighbourhood is a historic heart of Girona. You can take a boat cruise down the river Onyar to enjoy the city from the water. We recommend staying at Bed & Breakfast Bells Oficis — an affordable two-star accommodation set in a charming 19th-century townhouse. The price for the double room is 45 euro including breakfast.
