About Girona
Girona province has two defining axes for its enormous activity offer: 37 kilometres of Costa Brava coastline and the eastern Pyrenees. The Illes Medes, a marine reserve off l'Estartit, catalogue over 1,200 species and represent the reference diving site on the Spanish Mediterranean: giant moray eels, red spiny lobsters and parrotfish share depths between 5 and 40 metres. Average summer visibility exceeds 15 metres.

Girona province has two defining axes for its enormous activity offer: 37 kilometres of Costa Brava coastline and the eastern Pyrenees. The Illes Medes, a marine reserve off l'Estartit, catalogue over 1,200 species and represent the reference diving site on the Spanish Mediterranean: giant moray eels, red spiny lobsters and parrotfish share depths between 5 and 40 metres. Average summer visibility exceeds 15 metres.
Further north, Cap de Creus—the Iberian Peninsula's easternmost point—offers sea kayak touring between grey-slate coves with clear water. The natural park allows kayak access to roadless coves and authorised camping overnight. The volcanic zone of La Garrotxa, with 40 volcanic cones and Quaternary lava flows, sets the scene for hiking through beech and oak forests that change dramatically with the seasons. The canyoning sectors around Riells del Fai and the Llobregat and Ter gorges have several well-documented intermediate descents.
In the Girona Pyrenees, Puigmal (2,913 m) marks the provincial high point and is the starting base for winter ascents with crampons and snowshoes. The La Molina and Masella ski resorts together cover over 140 km of pistes on the same massif. Cycling is the fastest-growing activity in the province: the Alt Empordà has a network of road and gravel routes through wheat fields, vineyards and medieval villages with moderate gradients that attract long-distance riders from across Europe.
Highlights
- • Diving at the Illes Medes: 1,200+ species in a protected marine reserve
- • Sea kayak touring around Cap de Creus to roadless coves
- • Hiking through Garrotxa volcanic cones and beech forests
- • Canyoning in the Llobregat gorges and the Riells del Fai sector
- • Gravel and road cycling across Alt Empordà vineyards and medieval villages
- • Mountaineering on Puigmal (2,913 m) with snowshoes and crampons in winter
Best time to visit
June to September for diving in the Medes with best visibility and warm water. April to October for sea kayak around Cap de Creus. December to March for mountaineering and skiing in the Pyrenees. Spring and autumn are ideal for cycling in Alt Empordà, when tramontane winds are less frequent.
Practical tips
For diving at the Medes, book in advance in summer — diver numbers are limited by reserve regulations. For Cap de Creus kayak, check the wind forecast: the tramontane can exceed 80 km/h and force cancellations. For Garrotxa routes, parking in Olot and Santa Pau fills quickly on public holidays; use the natural park bus service.
