About this tour
This early walk covers Devesa Park, Girona's green edge outside the old walls. You see the long avenues of plane trees and the point where the park meets the river Ter. It is a calmer, quieter side of the city than the cathedral and old lanes.
I start under the trees while the town is still quiet and move toward the water as the morning light comes up. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send over a short note on what we saw afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants a slower, more natural session between busier old town walks. It also works well if mornings and open space interest you more than churches.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

You see rows of tall plane trees laid out in the nineteenth century, one of the largest such parks anywhere in Catalonia.

The path reaches the river Ter at the edge of the park, and I explain how the meeting of two rivers shaped the old town's site.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Girona: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Calçots amb romesco and Pedret, worth a slower look.
