Girona short-term rentals in December

Hi, everyone! To try and make a long story short… My wife and I moved to Germany eight years ago. I recently got citizenship and my wife is right behind me.

We love Berlin, but are curious to explore other possibilities. We’ve always been drawn to Spain, and after visiting Girona this past May, we got that gut feeling that it could be a great place to live, especially given we’re quite active and I know there’s a strong cycling / trail running community.

So! We’re looking to spend three weeks or this December in Girona to get a better feel for it. We’d really like to avoid using Airbnb, not least of all because prices for a three-week stay are pretty outrageous.

I’m wondering if anyone in this group is aware of the best way to get a relatively affordable three-week stay? Idealista, understandably, appears to be focused on longer / permanent stays.

P.S. I know it’s a fiercely proud Catalonian city, so learning Catalan (I feel comfortable in Spanish) would be first on the agenda if we were to seriously consider moving.

Thanks in advance!

Is the Girona airport open overnight?

On Monday I have a flight at around 6 am in the morning and since there are no buses at that time I was wondering if the Girona airport stays open overnight? Check in is 2 hours before the flight so I wouldn't be getting much sleep either way, so that's why I wanted to know

Where to hang out on a wet day?

I arrive in Girona tomorrow morning, but can't check into my flat until 5pm. Normally I'd be happy to dump my luggage and go wandering, but it looks like it's going to be pretty stormy in Girona tomorrow.

Any suggestions about where/how to kill time somewhere indoors until I can get checked in? I'd be happy with cool libraries, shopping centres, cafes, book stores, that kind of thing.

Thanks in advance.

Viure a Girona i treballar a Barcelona

Treballaré a Barcelona i tinc la intenció de portar la meva família a viure a Catalunya. No obstant això, preferiria viure en una ciutat més petita i més familiar, per això m'ha agradat molt Girona.

Sé que hi ha el tren d'alta velocitat que permet arribar a Barcelona en uns 40 minuts. En aquest sentit, tinc algunes preguntes en les quals m'agradaria que m'ajudéssiu:

  1. Girona és una bona ciutat per criar una família?
  2. Quin és el preu mensual de l'abonament per al tren d'alta velocitat (no puc trobar aquesta informació en línia)?
  3. Tenint en compte que només he d'anar un cop per setmana a l'oficina, surt més a compte comprar l'abonament o comprar bitllet?
  4. Fins a quin punt és fiable i freqüent el tren d'alta velocitat?

Restaurant recommendations to try local Girona food for a reasonable price

Hi all, I’m currently in Girona and am looking for some restaurants that are popular among the locals (not too touristy) and serve food that is local to the town / region. I’ve read that Girona is well known for its cuisine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)

Millor opció de lloger prop de Figueres?

La meva parella ha començat a treballar a l'Amazon de Figueres (ara mateix hi és allà visquent amb un familiar, només porta una setmana)

Vivim a Barcelona i com jo treballo desde casa, voldríem llogar un pis a Figueres o prop , però he vist que no hi ha massa oferta. Potser en els pobles veïns però no sé si donen pas inconvenients viure allà.

Tenim cotxe, i hauria d'estar a 20 mins com a màxim de Figueres.

Estem molt perduts perquè pensàvem que hi hauria més pisos pero potser no estem mirant adeqüadament.

Gràcies!!

Moving to Girona in December

bona tarda

Déjame disculparme porque la mayor parte de esto no está en el idioma nativo. Estoy aprendiendo español y catalán, y en este momento no me siento seguro.

I will move to Girona with my wife and ten-year-old daughter in December. I am incredibly excited about this. We are from Manchester, UK, but my work moved me to the Middle East seven years ago.

I noticed a few posts on here with a similar theme. I am thrilled with these and have already gathered much information from them.

I have three questions for now, and I sure I will have more moving forward.

1 - My wife is a special education needs specialist and has completed her CELTA in English; however, her Spanish isn’t very strong, which I assume would limit her opportunities within the education sector in Girona. My question here is my assumption correct?

2—Regarding a house, I work from home and require an office (purely to be able to shut off for mental wellness). My daughter will attend Montjuïc school; I will drive her in the morning. I would also like a garden if possible. I have two cats, and I will be bringing them. What are some good areas with this in mind? Also, does anyone have any good recommendations for estate agents.

3—Final question: Thank you for your time. I enjoy snowboarding in the winter, and Gironas's location is perfect for this. What are some of the best places to go that aren't too far away? And failing that, is there easy public transportation to Andorra?

I am looking forward to learning more.

Train tickets for Girona-Barcelona route

Hi!

I'll be staying in Girona for 5 days (cheaper accomodation than in Barcelona), but my main goal is to spend most of the time in Barcelona.

I know that the one-way ticket on a regional train costs 8.4€ and on media distancia 11.25 €

Is there some sort of a weekly train ticket between these two cities? Something that can help reduce the total price of all of the tickets.

Petició d'entrevista per a Treball de Recerca sobre Psicologia

Bon dia,

Soc estudiant de Batxillerat i estic realitzat un Treball de Recerca sobre Psicologia.

A mi em motiva molt la ment i, de fet, és un tema que em fascina.

Concretament, el tema que tracto és sobre la influència de l'amistat en joves amb trastorn depressiu major.

La part pràctica consisteix a fer 3 entrevistes: una a un psiquiatre, una altra a un psicòleg i una altra a una persona que tingui més depressió.

Si us plau, les sol·licito si alguna persona d'aquesta comunitat podria col·laborar a ser entrevistada per a l'entrevista de la persona que té depressió.

L'entrevista és exclusivament informativa, conté preguntes generals, no gaire personals i més o menys duraria 1 hora. Si no se sent còmode de respondre alguna pregunta, senti's lliure en no respondre-la. La informació de l'entrevista serà exclusivament per al treball de recerca i no divulgada a tercers.

Pot ser una entrevista textual o per trucada. Es mantindrà l'anonimat de la persona entrevistada, em pot donar qualsevol sobrenom amb què se senti segura.

Ja tinc les preguntes formulades, si algú hi està interessat m'ho pot comunicar per veure les preguntes i programar la data de cita =)

Li agraeixo per endavant la seva gentil col·laboració

Restaurant Recommendations That Open Mondays?

Hola. My partner and I are visiting Girona from Ireland on Sept 1st - 3rd. Unfortunately a lot of the amazing restaurants are closed on Mondays. Any suggestions for ones that are open? Not super fancy or outrageously expensive. Moltes gràcies!

Private Chefs Girona

Hi there!

I am visiting Girona next spring time with a group of friends. We were hoping to hire a private chef for a night. However, a lot of the websites offering private chef experiences look a bit dated. As a chef myself, I know a lot of the private hire guys in Belfast (where I live) are not up to scratch.

Anyway, I’m hoping a working chef in Girona might see this and fancy a few extra euros for doing some moonlighting.

How to get around in the surroundings?

Hi! We are going on a holiday to the Girona region (Sant Jordi Desvalls a bit up north from Girona). There is a train connection, but the last train from Girona already departs at 8.30 PM.

Is there an Uber-like app that we can use to book a ride?

We’d rent bicycles too, but it seems the roads are not biker friendly. Is it safe to use the main roads to bike from Girona to Sant Jordi?

Gracias!

My cousin and i are looking for hosts in Girona for one night or two :)

Hey, hello everyone!

We are a French cousin traveling through Spain! Girona looks amazing, which is why we planned to do some couchsurfing there. But at the last moment, our couchsurfer canceled on us, so we are arriving in Girona tonight without a place to stay.

Does anyone have a guest room or a couch where we could stay for one or two nights?

My name is Rudy, I am a graphic designer and writer, and my cousin, Chiara, is a musician and actress. Of course, we are respectful and discreet, and we can cook or help with the cleaning!

Thanks for reading this message, goodbye and hope to see you soon in Girona. 🙂
