Girona is a city in northeastern Spain, serving as the capital of the Gironès region within Catalonia. The city sits at an elevation of 70 metres, where the Ter, Onyar, and Güell rivers meet. Its local economy and civic life are anchored by its role as a regional capital, the presence of the University of Girona, and the nearby Girona-Costa Brava Airport, which connects the area to the wider Mediterranean region.
Property in Girona is generally cheaper than the average for Spain. Most of the local housing is concentrated in the Eixample district, which holds far more homes than any other part of the city. Prices vary sharply between neighbourhoods. The historic centre of Barri Vell and the adjacent el Mercadal are the most expensive districts by a wide margin, with prices more than double the city average. In contrast, outlying areas like Santa Eugènia and Can Gibert del Pla are much more affordable, while Vila-roja stands as the cheapest neighbourhood in the city.
