2nd April We celebrate World Autism Awareness Day

Girona is honoured to host for the first time the Annual Meeting and General Assembly of the ICCA Iberian Chapter. Our team has the pleasure to present our city and organisation.

Girona has all the charm of a large city but without

the crowds; it is a city on a human scale that will

amaze you with all it has to offer: its charming

streets, festivals, cultural activities, restaurants,

tourist services and events. Wander around the

labyrinthine old Jewish quarter, visit the city’s

monuments and gardens, and make sure you

taste the exquisite cuisine.

Welcome to our city
