What to do in Girona during Holy Week
The Roman soldiers and the Good Friday Procession
One of the most popular events is the Good Friday Procession, featuring the parade of the Manaies de Girona, the Roman soldiers who lead the Catholic brotherhoods. The sound of the drums, the celebrated dance of the spears striking the ground, and the solemn march of men and women dressed like ancient Roman legions will transport you back in time.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria
Holy Week is also a perfect moment to visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria, with its monumental staircase and the widest Gothic nave in the world. Founded by the Romans 2,100 years ago, this site remains the spiritual heart of the city.
The Jewish Quarter (Call)
Girona’s old town preserves the medieval alleys of the Jewish Quarter, one of the best preserved in Europe. For more than 600 years, Girona’s Jewish community was among the most important in the Iberian Peninsula.
All of this can be done on foot, without a car, without rushing, and with the comfort of having the hotel just steps away from everything.
