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
