Top tips for your Campervan trip to Girona

Girona has hot summers, mild winters and plenty of sunshine. However, the weather can change quickly if you head into the Pyrenees or coastal cliffs. As with many campervan destinations, we recommend travelling in Spring or Autumn so you still get the nice weather but escape some of the crowds.

  Driving

  Streets in the historic old town are narrow and winding and best explored on footy. Once outside the city, the roads open up beautifully, making the drive even better if you’ve got a camper van for hire in Girona. There are plenty of toll roads in Spain, and roads off AP-7 (which runs from France to Barcelona) have tolls, so check that your campervan comes with an electronic toll tag.

  Family Friendly Activities

  Girona’s Old Town and Game of Thrones Tour are perfect if your older kids love Game of Thrones. You’ll recognise the old town as the filming location for Kings Landing. Water World Lloret de Mar is one of Europe’s biggest water parks and only an hour from Girona - the perfect way to cool off on a summer day.

  The outdoors

  Just a short drive away, Cap de Creus Natural Park is a great place to spend the day with its rocky cliffs, hidden beaches and hiking trails. The drive from there to Creus lighthouse is worth it for the views as well. For something unique, there is La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone, which has volcanoes and makes a great stop if you are heading to the Pyrenees.
