Step into the past with a visit to Girona’s historic old town, a short drive from Arra Maris in Costa Brava, featuring ancient walls and vibrant streets.

Discovering Girona’s Medieval Charm

Just a 30-minute drive from Arra Maris Boutique Hotel in Costa Brava, Girona is a medieval masterpiece waiting to be explored. This vibrant city, with its colorful buildings lining the Onyar River, offers a perfect day trip for history lovers and curious travelers. Stroll along the ancient Romanesque walls of the Força Vella, dating back to the 1st century BC, for panoramic views of the city’s red-tiled roofs. Wander the narrow, cobbled streets of the Jewish Quarter (Call Jueu), one of Europe’s best-preserved, with its maze of shops and cafes. Don’t miss the Girona Cathedral, a Gothic gem with the world’s widest Gothic nave, blending Romanesque and Baroque elements. For a cultural touch, visit the city’s bustling Plaça de la Independència, ideal for a coffee stop or a taste of local tapas. Girona’s compact size makes it easy to explore on foot, and summer 2025’s warm weather ensures a delightful outing.

Getting There: Drive 30 minutes from Arra Maris or take a local bus from Lloret de Mar (40 minutes, €3 one-way).
Tips: Wear comfy shoes for the cobbled streets and bring a hat for sun protection. Guided walking tours (€15/person) enhance the experience—book locally.
