[@tinycuisine6544]

Hello from Girona!! Thanks for showcasing our wonderful city. Looking forward to welcoming all of you.

[@traveltomoney]

Thank you! 🙂

[@flippingspain]

Nice, I'll have to put this on my list. It's so wonderful when you explore smaller towns and pueblos and discover lovely gems like this. Thanks for sharing.

[@traveltomoney]

Thank you for watching! 🙂 These kind of unexpected surprises, really are the best!

My husband and I took the train there in June from Barcelona. Loved it.

[@traveltomoney]

Very cool! How long was the train ride?

[@kjaroundtheworld]

​@@traveltomoney Not long, about 1 hour from Barcelona Sants station.

I am NOT a fan of game of thrones but glad I stuck around 😅 looks like a great city

[@traveltomoney]

Haha! Yeah, I've heard it's not for everyone.😅 Thanks for watching!

[@kjaroundtheworld]

Saw the steps too. Someone in a shop told us.

I agree with you, I was pleasantly surprised by Girona back in May this year! I loved the walled area! I stayed 2 nights but could have stayed longer!

[@traveltomoney]

The walled area was definitely my favorite! I really look forward to going back again! 🙂

Great video 👍 for my American friends it’s pronounced Hee-Row-nah (Girona)

[@traveltomoney]

Thank you! Yes, I believe there are two pronunciations (Spanish and Catilian), but I don't know which is more widely used. I used to try to use the local pronunciations in my videos, but I find it very difficult to speak one word mid-sentence with an accent. It feels easy if I'm speaking a whole sentence in Spanish, but a tongue-twister if I'm speaking in English. 😅

[@mannyvidsnyc]

@@traveltomoney 😂 I completely understand. It’s totally weird to pronounce one word in Spanish when speaking English. We do the same in reverse in Spain, because I was raised in NYC English is my first language, so when my family does it and I catch it, it sends me laughing. Like Spider Man, they say Spee-Der-men 😂

[@tinycuisine6544]

It's more like "Gee Ro Nah" in Catalan, the language spoken in Girona.

[@mannyvidsnyc]

@@tinycuisine6544 I stand corrected. I guess we now know both pronunciations. 😂

[@tinycuisine6544]

@@mannyvidsnyc You were not wrong! You used the Spanish pronunciation, and I explained the Catalan pronunciation, which is the local original one.

It is nice to know they have an airport and easy access by train. I am planning to visit to get to know more of Girona. Which city in Spain is the least expensive for expats to live in?

[@user-beckyc]

Hi Nicole, I’m looking at car rental from Alicante airport in April 2025. I see Wheego as an affordable option, but haven’t heard of them. Any feedback you can share, on Wheego or other providers? Thanks. And Girona looks amazing! Wish my trip was long enough to visit there.

[@traveltomoney]

Hi there! I've never used Wheego myself. I wish I had more info for you.🙂

[@neilmckay8649]

Have you, or would you please, make a video about living costs in Seville. Thanks

[@traveltomoney]

I haven't, as I haven't been there before, but it's on my list for sure! 🙂

[@neilmckay8649]

@@traveltomoney thank you, looking forward to this

[@nobleminiatures6006]

Love your videos. I am looking at moving to Spain but having a hard time contacting the Canadian consulate over there or the Spanish consulate in Canada. Any suggestions. I am looking to permanently move to Alicante area.

[@traveltomoney]

Hi! Moving to Alicante sounds exciting! I wish I knew more about working with the consulate, but since I'm not a resident in Spain, I don't know much about the process. I hope you find the info you need soon!

[@Hamza_Shafqat]

I want to apply in university if girona... But don't khow when will admission open

[@traveltomoney]

I'm sure that would be lovely to attend university there. I unfortunately don't know much about the admissions. I hope you find what you're looking for!

[@MuzzaHukka]

Can I get a property for 20k euros, all-in, in Girona, and what would the long term rent that I can collect from such a property be?

[@traveltomoney]

I think it would be hard to find anything in a city (small towns will have more low price options) in that price range that doesn't come with a long road of renovations or legal issues (like dealing with squatters).

[@MuzzaHukka]

@@traveltomoney Oufff, so what's the rock bottom price for getting a rental?

[@MaxCartlidge]

Girona is gorgeous. Where else in Spain would you live if it wasn’t Pego?!?

[@capdenap]

Girona, Catalonia.
