Easter is one of the most special times of the year to enjoy the province of Girona. With the arrival of spring, nature blooms, and the first getaways of the year are organized. Girona’s campsites become an ideal option to disconnect, experience the outdoors, and discover traditions and the region’s rich gastronomy.

Experience the Easter traditions in Girona

One of the most notable activities to do in Girona during Easter is attending the Procession of the Holy Burial of Girona, which takes place on Good Friday through the streets of the Old Quarter. This procession, one of the oldest in Catalonia, offers a unique spectacle of devotion, history, and culture.

Connect with nature in Girona’s Natural Parks

Spring is the perfect time to explore Girona’s natural areas, ideal for outdoor activities:

• Cap Roig Gardens: One of the most important botanical gardens in the Mediterranean.
• Montgrí, Medes Islands, and Baix Ter Natural Park: A gem for diving and marine wildlife.
• Cap de Creus Natural Park: Unique landscapes with spectacular views.
• Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park: A paradise for hiking and mountain lovers.

Enjoy adventure and outdoor fun in Girona

Easter is a great time for hiking or cycling in Girona. Trails like the Via Verda, a route that connects the Pyrenees with the Costa Brava through rural and natural landscapes, or the coastal paths (Camins de Ronda), offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.

Families can enjoy easy, low-elevation routes, while more adventurous visitors can opt for more challenging sections. Cycling in the region also offers options for all levels, from relaxed rides to mountain biking (MTB) routes through the Pyrenean forests or the vineyards of the Empordà.

Discover the traditional flavors of Easter in Girona

Girona’s gastronomy stands out during Easter with a rich and varied selection of traditional dishes made with local ingredients. The iconic Mona de Pascua, a cake decorated with chocolate eggs and sugar figures, is a must-have gift for godchildren. Another Easter favorite is buñuelos de viento, deep-fried dough balls covered in sugar, perfect with coffee or hot chocolate.

Additionally, Girona offers other traditional Easter dishes such as salt cod with samfaina, a vegetable and fish stew deeply rooted in Catalan cuisine. Peas with cuttlefish and grilled snails are other delicacies you can’t miss if you want to enjoy Easter with all five senses!
