To see a city completely draped in flowers, with aromas as pleasant as the rainbow of colours, head to Girona! The Temps de Flors festival has been taking place every year since 1954, and each year the city transforms into a floral paradise. The festival occurs annually in May and lasts for about one week, so to catch this spectacular festival, plan your Spain holiday with one of our vacation villas in Girona<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What to See<\/strong><\/p>\n

The beauty of the flower festival is that you never know what\u2019s around the next corner. From displays arranged by local children to designs that have clearly been the result of very intricate planning, there\u2019s all sorts of arrangements to enjoy. Your vacation rental in Spain<\/a> may even be decorated for the event! While there are amazing blooms to see all around Girona, it is said that there are 10 \u2018essential\u2019 places that you simply must see when you visit Girona during the festival, including the following:<\/p>\n

\u25cf St Nicholas Chapel – one of the city\u2019s oldest churches
\n\u25cf Pla\u00e7a dels Jurats – a historic square
\n\u25cf Arab Baths – Roman hot spring spa
\n\u25cf Sant Feliu – a gothic cathedral
\n\u25cf The Cathedral – large cathedral and museum
\n\u25cf St Luke\u2019s Church – near the main cathedral, in the Old Town
\n\u25cf Sant Mart\u00ed – a 17th-century baroque convent
\n\u25cf The Sarra\u00efnes Building – an old building near the Arab Baths
\n\u25cf Casa Lle\u00f3 Avinay – a small house and museum in the Jewish Quarter
\n\u25cf Jardins dels Alemanys – spacious German gardens<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Where to Stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prices can rise during the festival, but it\u2019s still possible to get a good deal. Instead of booking a popular hotel, why not try something different and choose a family villa in Spain<\/a>? Girona is also not too far from Barcelona – 1.5 hours by car – so a Barcelona accommodation<\/a> is also a great option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
