[Travel] Ideas for Girona?

Having a quick stopover in Girona in 10 days for a couple of days - does anyone have any recommendations for good places to eat (not Michelin star as have 14 yr old in tow!) and essential things to see. Thanks in advance

It's a beautiful city, particularly by night. A little like Avignon ... they really know how to light their cities on the continent to the full benefit of their medieval architecture. Suggest nothing more than an amble after dark to get your bearings in the the old town, particularly a walk up the steps to the Cathedral and across the Eiffel Bridge on the river.. get lost In the Old town streets and select some eateries and cafes for the following day. Its not a very big centre as I recall though some steep steps in places.

Girona (ish) resident here. For local stuff, try Rocambolesc for ice cream. We often just go to a place called Porcus for a plate of Iberico ham with Pan Tumaca. both are central. Rest is up to your noses, I would say!

For foreign food - there's a Galette place (Creperie Breton), well tasty with the cider, and for Pizza, nothing is better than Pulcinella. (ask for no oregano).

cafe le bistrot near the cathedral was absolutely lovely when i went. not that expensive at all, rustic flavourful food. simple but amazing outdoor seating area. no menu in english, at least when i was there, which was quite a fun experience

You're quite close to the Salvador Dali Museum at Figueras. Well worth a visit for persons of any age

Got to allow at least one day just to wander around. Incredible city, amazing architecture and a lovely old wall which you can walk around.

Also if you are a GOT fan, there were quite a scenes shot in the city and last time I was there just before lockdown, there was the famous throne of swords which you can sit in and get a photo of.

This scene is in Girona for example.

DO NOT listen to The Knack. If you always get it up for the touch of the younger kind, you will be arrested. Even if they are a little pretty one.
