Thank you to all who've provided such great advice for this trip and our others over the years.
I thought I had our upcoming Spain trip nailed down: 7nights/6 days in BCN, driving through the Pyrenees (overnighting in Roda de Isabena en route) then over the French border, through Pau to San Sebastián (4or5 days) with a few day trips, then wrapping up with 2nights in Bilbao... But. Keep hearing how great Girona is and am now wondering if we should shave a night or two off of BCN to add this time for Girona. Would appreciate feedback. We like to travel in a laid back, pretend we live there - not tick all the tourism boxes, style which is why we tend to stay more days in one spot...
Thx in advance!

Should Girona+ be added to our Barcelona & Basque country trip?

Hi A,

Girona is an hour from Barcelona. You can make it a daytrip.
I responded to your question about Graus.
I was not overwhelmed by Girona.
thanks to both of you for the reassurance, I appreciate it! I just don't want to be remiss as I don't know when we'll be back in that part of Spain again... cheers!
