A winter for shopping


Girona: The best choice for shopping

Enjoy shopping in Girona for sales campaign. The city offers a wide range of shops and boulevards with all kind of stores. Its centric pedestrian streets, allow people move through the city with a great comfort, and go shopping enjoying a calm and nice walk. Its condition of a human sized city makes possible to get from one to another shop on foot.

The best shopping is located in the old town, where tradition mixes with modern trends. In this shopping area we find the best in fashion, with stores of recognized Spanish and Catalan designers, as well as boutiques with international brands. Accessories and jewels, shoe shops and leather goods, also in the exclusive shops along the Rambla and in Santa Clara or Nou streets. There are also small stores where craftsmen sell their own productions and antiquarians with the oldest, most original and curious objects, as well as shops with exquisite delicatessen products.

In the new city there's the Eixample, a shopping area with a great variety of shops and department stores, especially selling clothes and complements. The main shopping streets of the Eixample are the essence of youth and modernity.

For specialized purchases, a good option is to visit the placed establishments in Girona's north and south entry accesses. There you'll find the commercial areas "Mas Gri", "Mas Xirgu" and "l'Avellandeda", with specialist shopping centres of sports, furniture, electronics, appliances and hypermarkets.
