Por motivos de tiempo, estoy debatiendo entre un daytrip de Sevilla a Cordoba O un daytrip de Barcelona a Girona... Ambas ciudades se ven hermosas y no se cual elegir :-/

Hola Jolie, gracias por tus palabras. ¡Duda cruel! Cualquiera de las dos es perfecta, elige la que encaje mejor en tu programación, lo bueno es que no tienes como fallar. Si acaso, diríamos que Girona tiene menos contenido que Córdoba, por lo que sería más adecuada para una excursión en el día. Un saludo.

I'm doing this day trip in about three weeks. I've already purchased my train tickets. Really looking forward to exploring around this town. I'm getting there around 10 and leaving around 6. Tony, does that give me enough time to see the things I will want to see?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

You should have time for the most important places for as long as you don't spend a long time having lunch. Ideally, you would return to Barcelona a bit later, but it should be ok.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello! There might be slightly more people during a Saturday, and you won't find the "menú del día" at restaurants. Otherwise, it's fine. There are trains all throughout the day, if you can't find them it is because they haven't been added to the system yet.

[@sunikolkata]

Hello Tony, I’ve been watching your videos, and they’ve been incredibly helpful as I prepare for my first trip to Barcelona. I have a question for you: I’d like to visit Girona and Tossa de Mar during my trip in the first week of November. Would it be reasonable to stay overnight in Girona and then head to Tossa de Mar the next day, or should I just do a day trip to Girona from Barcelona and go directly to Tossa de Mar from Barcelona ?Given that Girona is a small city, would you recommend an overnight stay? I’ll be staying two nights in Tossa de Mar. Would it make more sense to do a day trip to Girona from Tossa instead of from Barcelona? Please advise.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello, Girona has far more content than Tossa. Tossa in November will probably very quiet, with many businesses closed, as it is off season. If you can't spend the night in Girona, dedicate at least the entire day to it. Then take a bus from Girona to Tossa.

[@sunikolkata]

Hi tony! For a first timer visiting girona what is the best place to visit first? My family and i are planning by walking will be coming from barcelona we plan to do a daytrip . On your video are they all close by and is it walkable.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi Armie, you can organize the visit the way you prefer but walking the walls first thing is a logical thing to do.

[@amomstake]

How long did it take to walk along the outer city wall? And was parking difficult or expensive? Considering a short stop on our way out of Barcelona into France. Hoping to see more Portugal info soon as well! Would love tips for Day Trips from Porto and Lisbon!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

In maximum 45 minutes you would complete the walk. Parking in the historic centre is not a possibility. You could try parking near the train station. We launched the channel in the midst of the pandemic, which hindered our efforts to begin developing our Portuguese content. We had two trips to Lisbon cancelled by the airline recently, yet another setback. But before the end of the year we should have content on at least Lisbon.

[@duxd1452]

I was there last year in July and we had no difficulty parking, and it was free (as far we could tell). We found a parking space up on the hill in the northern part of town, basically next to the city wall. About a 5 minute walk to the city center.

[@linkinthebio27]

Dear Tony, if you had the choice to go to Girona on a Saturday or a Sunday, which do you think would be better? Considering that we would like to take the Renfe train service to get there. Does train service work better on one day or the other, and in terms of the Churches to visit in Girona would there be services there on Sundays that would affect the ability to visit them? Thank you so much really appreciate your help.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Probably on a Saturday, mass services might have an impact on the visit to churches.

[@linkinthebio27]

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you so much. I was on the Renfe website to purchase tickets ahead of time. I see that there are two train companies that offer a 39-40 minute fast train from Barcelona Sants to Girona. One is Avant, the other is Ave International. Is there a difference between the two? Also, do you think it is necessary to purchase train tickets ahead of time? Or is it possible to just purchase it on the day of the trip. I ask this because I don't know exactly how many hours we will spend in Ginora and at what time we will head back to Barcelona. So probably buying the return train ticket to Barcelona will be more convenient on the actual day of the trip. Or do you think there is a chance they could sell out in which case I'll try to estimate our return time and order them now online? Thank you again

@@linkinthebio27 do not buy high-speed trains on the day of travel. Spain beating record number of tourists right now. You risk not finding seats.

this is a good, helpful video but I wonder why you did not put the map north south which would be so much more helpful.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Thank you Dani, I think in the case of a vertical video the north south format would have been perfect, but in the case of horizontal video we prefer to make the information we present as clear as possible, and the north south orientation would have forced us to squeeze a lot of data in a small space.

Hello, Is it possible to make Girona as a base for a few days to go on a tour around the coastal costa Brava towns? Would u recommend that?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello Mary, the ideal thing is to sleep on the coastal villages but yes, you could use Girona as your base for as long as you assume you will have to drive to get to the different destinations in the morning, and to return to Girona at the end of the day.

[@jzansnow]

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you. I didn't even think of that. Which town would be most preferable? And will you be making a video about costa brava soon?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

There wouldn't be just the single town, the region is extense, you could stay in Cadaqués, Begur and Tossa de Mar to try to cover the most important places. We have a road trip lined up that will try to make sense of the region. But it's going to take a while before it's ready.

Thanks John. Traditional music doesn't alway go well with videos and, on top of that, there's the issue of licensing. Not easy to find Girona music with reproduction rights.
