Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at the centre, 10 km from the airport (GRO): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from July to September; quietest from January to March.

Then and now

Girona's June days now average 28.6°C, 4.1°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 9 of 12 months are clearly warmer.

Getting there

Fly into Barcelona (BCN), then drive. The flights under Where to book are to Barcelona.

Barcelona (BCN)	the drive is not measured yet
Girona (GRO)	the drive is not measured yet

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

How far Girona is, and what it costs, depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.

Before you go

Type C and F plugs at 230 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Euro. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Spain: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

What Girona is like

Girona is the chief city of Província de Girona in Catalonia, northeast Spain. More on Wikivoyage

Worth seeing: Catedral de Girona (Cathedral of Saint Mary of Girona), Plaça de la Catedral. The main entrance from C de la Força is up a long broad flight of stairs: approach from the side streets if you wish to avoid these. More on Wikivoyage
Worth doing: Their Montilivi stadium (capacity 13,500) is 2 km south of the city centre. Golf: there are 3 pitch & putts around town. More on Wikivoyage
Getting in: Girona Airport (GRO IATA). Ryanair is the main operator. It's a single terminal with the usual facilities, plenty big enough for its limited traffic. More on Wikivoyage
Staying safe: Take usual caution over traffic, care of valuables, and avoiding rowdy drunks. More on Wikivoyage

Kind of place

Girona is in Spain, Europe. Distances are great-circle, so a short one can still be a long way round.
