In the northeast corner of Spain, next to the border with France, the Catalonian province of Girona encompasses a rugged and beautiful stretch of the Costa Brava, the inland plains of the Empordà and the western section of the Pyrenean mountain range.
Girona’s climate is relatively mild in the winter, when the average temperature only drops as low as 10ºC. In the summer, Girona basks in an average of 25ºC by the coast.

The Costa Brava stretches 214 km from Blanes in the south, 60km northeast of Barcelona and the Costa Dorada, to Portbou in the north, on the French border. Lush vegetation surrounds the beaches, coves and cliffs and a mild climate and excellent beaches has led to large numbers of houses, villas, hotels and apartments in such seaside resorts as Blanes, Tossa de Mar, and Lloret de Mar whilst other towns, with their fishing harbours and promenades, have retained a more traditional look. Many people choose to buy and rent Costa Brava property and on this page you can view and enquire about holiday rentals, long term rentals and properties for sale.

In the Pyrenees, of course, the temperature is much cooler and in the winter, people flock to Girona to take advantage of its Pyrenean ski resorts when the snow falls. This wild area of Girona is equally alluring in the summer, the rugged mountains and green valleys offering a wealth of opportunity for hiking, nature watching and a variety of mountain sports.

The historic town of Girona with its ancient streets and buildings is irresistible to lovers of architecture, as are the hundreds of unique Romanesque buildings that are scattered through the remote countryside villages of Girona. And for art lovers, the town of Figueres, Dalí’s birthplace, is not to be missed.

Girona-Costa Brava Airport (code GRO) is close to Costa Brava, the Pyrenees and the cities of Girona and Barcelona, 10 and 85 kilometres away, respectively. The airport offers 64 scheduled routes over the summer period. Girona is well connected to the rest of Spain and to France via motorways and rail.
