You must walk the medieval walls of Girona and the towers to see the best views of the city. You really shouldn’t miss this. And if you’re a photographer then all the more reason!

Jardines de Santa Clotilde

This wonderful garden was landscaped in a setting of great beauty on top of a cliff with breath-taking views over the sea, and it is a fine specimen of the spirit that animated the Noucentista movement in Catalonia - an early twentieth-century movement for intellectual and aesthetic renewal that found a distinguished spokesman in the writer Eugeni d'Ors. The Santa Clotilde gardens were designed in the manner of the dainty yet austere gardens of the Italian Renaissance by Nicolau Rubió i Tuduri at the age of twenty-eight, when he was still brimming over with admiration for his master in the art of landscape gardening, Forestier.

Fenals Beach

Reviewed By rebeccareeve80 - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Spent 1 week on this beach in June and 1 week in October and have to say we love the beach yes it’s shingles and there’s a bank into the water and then a bit of a shelf in the water (so beware with little ones) but in places there is waves and they are so much fun tumbling you around we had such fun trying to get in and out of the water. Your bather, bikini or shorts will end up full of shingles if you get tumbled though. There’s a little ice cream hut at the end of beach towards Lloret end and the ice creams are lovely and reasonably priced too.

Ruins of Empuries

Empúries is one of the finest historic settings in Catalonia.Two cities, one Greek and one Roman, set by the sea at L’Escala on the south of the Bay of Roses, named by Unesco as one of the most beautiful in the world.

Reviewed By MesaGrandJunction - Grand Junction, United States

What a beautiful and fascinating location - right on the sea! There are 2 cities - the Greek city closest to the water and the Roman city above it. The mosaics in the Roman city are amazing, and the museum has some very well-preserved mosaics and sculptures. The audio guide, which is included in the admission price, is available in many languages and really helps you picture life in Empuries.

I spent a lovely time here birdwatching. There are various habitats and a wide range of birds to see. There are a number of blinds for watching waterbirds. I visited midweek, so there were a number of school groups earlier in my visit, but it quieted down after noon.
