In 2016, media companies began to present Girona as a paradise for film sites, thanks to season 6 of Game of Thrones. The city's beauty is everywhere, from its medieval walls, narrow streets, and dazzling architecture to the petite bookshops and dozens of tapas bars. Girona is sandwiched between Barcelona and the famous Costa Brava, offering appealing beaches and remote rocky coves. The province has a vast fertile plain ideal for rural tourism, where adventure seekers can be seen hiking or cycling through the backroads before making their way to their rural pit stops.
