Province of Girona

The Province of Girona is an administrative unit in northeastern Catalonia that runs from the Mediterranean coast to the Pyrenees. It groups 222 municipalities across landscapes that include shorelines, plains and mountain areas.

The provincial body was formed in 1822 and introduced a new form of local administration. It has since coordinated services and support between the municipalities across the territory.

The province maintains two official languages, Catalan and Spanish, reflecting its position within Catalonia and its connection to broader Spanish linguistic traditions.

The coastal zone offers swimming spots and walking routes along cliffs during the warmer months. The northern mountain ranges suit winter activities in snow and excursions to higher elevations.

The municipality of Llívia sits as a Spanish enclave entirely within French territory. A short road connects it to the rest of Spanish land.
