truly enjoyed our visit to Girona. We flew into Barcelona and took the train into Girona. That can be a little confusing, but our son lives in Girona and was able to talk us through it. There is no need to rent a car if you plan on just staying in Girona. If you plan on going to the coast or venturing outside of Girona, then yes, rent a car. Once we arrived in Girona, RiMa's place was just a 5 minute walk from the train station. One of the first things we did, was go to the grocery store since we planned on eating out only one meal a day. Only thing I was not aware of, is there is no oven. There are 2 burners, a small refrigerator, and a microwave. There is also a washing machine, which was nice if you want to pack light and wash clothes. However, there is no dryer though, and you will have to hang dry, which you can do on the very private back terrace. I loved the terrace, which just felt like an extension to the apartment.
