But first… Why choose Girona for my wedding?
Because of its location, Girona is so close to Barcelona (1 hour and 20 minutes away), that if you get married in Girona you should not miss the great city of Gaudí. Take the opportunity to get to know this beautiful and historic city during your wedding!
In terms of flavours, we could say that every city in Spain has something of its own that makes its gastronomy a reason to put on a good wedding banquet and taste the most characteristic products. Girona is no exception in this respect, and when it comes to choosing your wedding menu, you won’t know whether to opt for a Catalan, signature, Mediterranean, market, fusion menu…
Because of its tranquillity, getting married in Girona is to feel surrounded by an enveloping peace. You can be in the heart of the city without being disturbed by noise of any kind and you can disconnect, feeling the presence of history in every corner.
For its history, its warmth and its nature. There is nothing better than letting yourself be carried away through the streets to appreciate with all five senses everything that beats in Girona. You can start by exploring the northern area and embark on an archaeological walk through the old quarter, the churches, the Cathedral, the museums and the Jewish Quarter.
For its beautiful beaches, and getting married in Girona means enjoying places like Tossa del Mar, as its beaches are so beautiful and wide that even the locals go out of their way to enjoy them. The town has a walled old quarter with typical cobbled streets that are well worth a stroll. Tamariu, Aiguafreda, Sa Tuna, Pals and Begur are other beautiful beaches where you can say “I do”.
For its Arab baths, inspired by the Roman baths, the Arab Baths of Girona were built during the 12th century. They have a Roman style mixed with Arab influences and are a real jewel of mixed influences.
