I visited Girona a few months ago and did the walk at the city wall thanks to this video! Both my friends and I enjoyed it so much! Such awesome views from up there! And Girona is such a wonderful old city. Would love to visit again and stay a night. Thank you so much, Tony!
Tony, thank you so much for showing us Girona. I'll be traveling there in mid month of October, 2023. I'll stay at a hotel there for 5 days. So excited! This region was the land of my paternal ancestor (gggggrandfather). Te saludo desde Puerto Rico.
Mi familia y yo estuvimos en Girona en Julio y nos fuimos enamorados de esa hermosa y acogedora ciudad. Un viaje al pasado que seguro en el futuro querremos volver a realizar!
Thank You, you are a really great narrator and presenter to the video. I love the way the video is made too with really good quality video footage of Girona and then the way the 3D map function view is used. This is the best place presentation I have ever seen.
I live in Girona for more than a year now and still I've discovered plenty of new information about my city. Great job with preparation! Was a pleasure to immerse
Hi Tony, we just did a walking tour of Girona today. Our guide was a student and was simply amazing giving us so much details of the old city. We enjoyed very much this beautiful city and quite frankly we fell in love with it. Thank you very much for your recommendation!
We’re visiting Barcelona this fall and I was looking for one day trip, based on your videos looks like Girona will be the one. Thank you Tony . I love you’re videos
Thanks so much, Silvia, hope you'll have a great time in Barcelona. Montserrat is also a wonderful day trip: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DtouuBNpay0.html And so is Tarragona: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AInD4Jz-aU4.html All the best!
We’re traveling by train from Madrid to Barcelona and I was thinking we can stop in Tarragona on the way to Barcelona or on the way back to Madrid but not sure if we have any place at the train stations to store our luggage. Your video are so well done . Thank you again for what you do. Silvia
Thank you so much for all your informative information and insider tips. We will go back to your train videos again and find our ticket through Trainline link. We are so happy for your help and informative videos. We will be in Girona very soon.
Thank you Tony, i can get a single ticket from the airport to Sants, i saw that on the machine in another video of yours. I can get to L'estartit on the Ampsa bus for under 7 euros, a bargain, i will visit Girona properly next time round, i also look forward to watching the video on Monseratt, i went there as a young boy, its magical, love to you.
We have booked 3 nights in Girona in October 2022. Really looking forward to it. Thanks for this video. +1👍👍 (edit: subscribed. We live in France, 2 hours' drive from Girona.)
Hi there, Andrew, be very welcome to the channel. Three nights should give you plenty of time to absorbe the beauty of Girona at a leisurely pace. All the best!
Tony - fabulous set of videos on Spain and Portugal. My wife and are traveling there soon appreciate the excellent information you present. Regarding the Jewish quarter in Girona, could you give me an idea where the beautiful set of dark, shallow stairs ascending through an arch are located? They appear at the 13:52 mark in your video shortly after the stylized Christ sculpture. Thanks again!
I'm a huge fan of Game of Thrones Tony! Initially wanted to have a day trip to Tarragona but now thinking to scrape that off and go to Girona instead. Thanks much!
Thanks a lot, Levina, and be very welcome to the channel. Girona is wonderful, and you might want to have a look at Tarragona too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AInD4Jz-aU4.html All the best from Zaragoza!
Muchisimas gracias por tus videos. De todos los videos que he encontrado en youtube, los tuyos han sido los mas informativos. Si no es molestia, le podria hacer una pregunta? Por motivos de tiempo, estoy debatiendo entre un daytrip de Sevilla a Cordoba O un daytrip de Barcelona a Girona... Ambas ciudades se ven hermosas y no se cual elegir :-/
Hola Jolie, gracias por tus palabras. ¡Duda cruel! Cualquiera de las dos es perfecta, elige la que encaje mejor en tu programación, lo bueno es que no tienes como fallar. Si acaso, diríamos que Girona tiene menos contenido que Córdoba, por lo que sería más adecuada para una excursión en el día. Un saludo.
Hi really enjoy all your videos! For a day trip to Girona, would a Saturday be too busy? Seems the weekday train availability for end of Sept. starts after noon which is later than preferred. Saturday late Sept has earlier availability. Gracias and your advice is appreciated!
Hello! There might be slightly more people during a Saturday, and you won't find the "menú del día" at restaurants. Otherwise, it's fine. There are trains all throughout the day, if you can't find them it is because they haven't been added to the system yet.
Hi Tony! Great video! I know you mentioned that the best way to walk the Girona Murallas is in the South. Is the best way to enter by the Jardins de la Muralla? I am just try to figure it out using Google maps so that I have some sort of idea where to access it when we go for the day in September. Thanks!
How long did it take to walk along the outer city wall? And was parking difficult or expensive? Considering a short stop on our way out of Barcelona into France. Hoping to see more Portugal info soon as well! Would love tips for Day Trips from Porto and Lisbon!
In maximum 45 minutes you would complete the walk. Parking in the historic centre is not a possibility. You could try parking near the train station. We launched the channel in the midst of the pandemic, which hindered our efforts to begin developing our Portuguese content. We had two trips to Lisbon cancelled by the airline recently, yet another setback. But before the end of the year we should have content on at least Lisbon.
I was there last year in July and we had no difficulty parking, and it was free (as far we could tell). We found a parking space up on the hill in the northern part of town, basically next to the city wall. About a 5 minute walk to the city center.
I'm doing this day trip in about three weeks. I've already purchased my train tickets. Really looking forward to exploring around this town. I'm getting there around 10 and leaving around 6. Tony, does that give me enough time to see the things I will want to see?
You should have time for the most important places for as long as you don't spend a long time having lunch. Ideally, you would return to Barcelona a bit later, but it should be ok.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you Tony! I would love to buy you and your wife a cup of coffee if you would let me. I'm in Barcelona for 5 nights. I'm totally serious! You have been so much help to me!
Thank you for a very beautiful and informative video. I just want to ask if we need to purchase our train tickets ahead of time, or there will be tickets available for purchase at the train station on the day of our trip there. We are planning to do a day trip in May. Thank you
Hello there, on this video we explain why buying your train tickets on the day of travel is usually a terrible choice: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QYvUn-sJxZ4.html All the best!
Thank you Dani, I think in the case of a vertical video the north south format would have been perfect, but in the case of horizontal video we prefer to make the information we present as clear as possible, and the north south orientation would have forced us to squeeze a lot of data in a small space. All the best!
Dear Tony, if you had the choice to go to Girona on a Saturday or a Sunday, which do you think would be better? Considering that we would like to take the Renfe train service to get there. Does train service work better on one day or the other, and in terms of the Churches to visit in Girona would there be services there on Sundays that would affect the ability to visit them? Thank you so much really appreciate your help.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you so much. I was on the Renfe website to purchase tickets ahead of time. I see that there are two train companies that offer a 39-40 minute fast train from Barcelona Sants to Girona. One is Avant, the other is Ave International. Is there a difference between the two? Also, do you think it is necessary to purchase train tickets ahead of time? Or is it possible to just purchase it on the day of the trip. I ask this because I don't know exactly how many hours we will spend in Ginora and at what time we will head back to Barcelona. So probably buying the return train ticket to Barcelona will be more convenient on the actual day of the trip. Or do you think there is a chance they could sell out in which case I'll try to estimate our return time and order them now online? Thank you again
Thanks so much for this video. Very good. But, the music, ugh. How about some nice Spanish traditional or classical music? So much good music from this country.
Thanks John. Traditional music doesn't alway go well with videos and, on top of that, there's the issue of licensing. Not easy to find Girona music with reproduction rights. What I've seen quite a lot of people do is play flamenco music regardless of whether is utterly irrelevant to the place, and we won't definitely go that way. All the best!
Hello Mary, the ideal thing is to sleep on the coastal villages but yes, you could use Girona as your base for as long as you assume you will have to drive to get to the different destinations in the morning, and to return to Girona at the end of the day.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you. I didn't even think of that. Which town would be most preferable? And will you be making a video about costa brava soon?
There wouldn't be just the single town, the region is extense, you could stay in Cadaqués, Begur and Tossa de Mar to try to cover the most important places. We have a road trip lined up that will try to make sense of the region. But it's going to take a while before it's ready.
Hola, soy Paulo. Mi esposa y yo estamos llevando a nuestros padres (ancianos) a pasear por España. Estamos considerando un 'Day Trip' desde Barcelona a finales de Octubre pero me preocupa un poco que toda la zona turistica de Girona sea un poco complicada para caminar para una persona que tiene dificultad para subir o bajar muchas escaleras. Cual es tu recomendacion?
Hola Paulo, en Girona hay muchas subidas y bajadas, elegiríamos otro lugar más tranquilo. Puede ser que Montserrat sea mejor, mira el vídeo en español que tenemos sobre ese lugar: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I1GTjMYEoZM.html
Mi hija se casara julio que viene. Para su lana de miel mi hija y su esposa se quedaran en la isla Ibiza e en Barcelona. Yo he recomendido que ellos viajan a Girona por un dia. Me gustan los trenes y espero que ellos viajan por tren. Un hombre que vive en Barcelona me dijo que Girona es un ciudad muy linda.
