Girona city / El Girones

Located just 100km north of Barcelona, 60km south of the French border, 90km from the ski resorts of the Pyrenees, 40km from the beaches of the Costa Brava, and 12km from Girona international airport, Girona, Catalunya’s second city, is frequently voted 'the most desirable city to live in Spain'.

Lucas Fox also specialise in assisting owners to sell their properties in the area to both local and international clients.

Different cultures have occupied and reoccupied Girona city throughout the centuries. Roman, Arab and Jewish settlers have all made their mark on the city over the years, attributing to the unique and fascinating place it is today with its wonderful mix of architectural styles, from classic Roman to modernism.

Most of modern Girona has grown up on the south banks of the Onyar River which cuts through the centre of the city, although the picturesque old town with it maze of narrow, medieval streets is located on the north banks. At the centre of this beautifully preserved old city is a magnificent gothic cathedral.

Many residents of Barcelona, Catalunya's capital city, buy real estate in Girona and El Girones as second homes and the forthcoming high speed rail link between Barcelona and the French border (which will stop in both Girona and Figueres ) is likely to draw even greater visitor numbers to the area and add greatly to the value of Girona real estate for sale.

The countryside around the city of Girona, is a popular place to buy and restore country properties and Lucas Fox offers a broad selection of property to buy in the area, ranging from building plots and masía ruins to buy to semi-restored masias, luxury masias, country estates, hotels and castles for sale.
