Explore Catalonia in autumn and winter with a hired car

Barcelona

A trip to Spain is basically possible all year round without any problems. Of course, also in Spain in autumn and winter rather lower temperatures prevail. Therefore, we recommend a trip full of activities rather than relaxing on the beach. Nevertheless, you can experience a great holiday in Catalonia in winter and fall. We show you that there are numerous advantages for a trip with a hired car in the autumn and winter months.

Here's why you should explore Catalonia in the fall and winter:

• Cheaper accommodation prices
• Cheaper airfares
• Fewer tourists at tourist attractions
• Pleasant temperatures for outdoor activities

In autumn and winter, you can visit Barcelona, for example, very well. The tourist crowds that take over the city in the warmer months are not present in winter. So you can take a leisurely stroll along the Rambla, see La Sagrada Familia Cathedral and explore Park Güell.

From Gerona Airport to the city centre by hired car

Gerona is located in the province of Catalonia in Spain. The city has an airport, so many tourists use it only as a stopover. But visiting this city is also worthwhile, as there are many beautiful sights here. Gerona is located in the north of Barcelona. The airport is located about eight kilometers from the city, which is called "Girona" by the Catalan. The old town of Girona is particularly beautiful. The town is located in the background of the Costa Brava and has narrow winding lanes with cobblestone paved streets. If you go for a walk here, comfortable and flat shoes are recommended. Gerona is quieter than Barcelona. Visit the Banys Arabs, which are public baths built in the 13th century by the Moors. They are still in operation today, but bathing is no longer possible there. However, you can visit them for a low price. With your hired car, which you can pick up at the airport pick-up point, you will explore not only the city but the entire Costa Brava.
