Girona (http://www.ajuntament.gi/turisme/) is a city located in a strategic point (41.59º north latitude, 2.49º east longitude) of the Iberian Peninsula. Over the years it has become a genuinely modern transport hub, and access to the city by car, train or plane is excellent.

Girona is directly connected with Europe and with the rest of the country by the AP-7 and the A-2 motorways and the C-25 highway, also known as the Eix transversal (a road crossing the region), all of which follow former Roman roads. Various bus lines serve Girona and regular transport networks have been established with the rest of Catalonia and many European cities. The bus station is located at the Plaça d’Espanya.
