Girona Temps de Flors: where to stay to enjoy the festival

Table of Contents

Knowing when the flower festival takes place is the first step in organizing your getaway, but choosing the right place to stay is what will make the difference between a stressful trip and an unforgettable experience. During the flower week in Girona, the city is transformed and welcomes thousands of visitors, which makes sleeping in the old town noisy, expensive, and very difficult for parking.

That’s why the best option is to look for accommodation in the surrounding areas.

L’Escala: the closest option

If your priority is proximity, accommodation in L’Escala is your best alternative. It is the coastal town with the fastest connection to the capital: in just 30-35 minutes you will be enjoying the Girona flower festival.

By choosing L’Escala, you have the advantage of visiting iconic spots like the Cathedral steps or the famous Iron Bridge first thing in the morning, and returning in the mid-afternoon to relax in the best coves on the Costa Brava. It is the ideal base to experience the Flower Festival in Girona without suffering the constant crowds and the noise of the city center.

L’Estartit: total disconnection in a natural setting

For those looking for a peaceful refuge after walking through Girona Temps de Flors, the best option is accommodation in L’Estartit. Although it is located about 45 minutes from the city, the reward is absolute silence and the beauty of a unique environment.

Sleeping here allows you to combine the spectacular Flower Week in Girona with everything there is to see in L’Estartit, from boat trips to the Medes Islands to routes through its natural park. At the end of your day, you can retire to your accommodation, far from the capital’s night-time noise. It is the favorite choice for families and groups who value space and independence.

Tips for a perfect visit

To plan your detailed route, we recommend checking the official program at Girona Temps de Flors. Our suggestion is to arrive early in the city and use the peripheral car parks like the one in La Devesa. This way, you can explore the entire Flower Festival in Girona on foot and, when you’re finished, drive back to your private oasis in L’Escala or L’Estartit.

Booking your stay outside the center not only ensures better prices and easier parking, but also guarantees that your rest is as pleasant as the flowers you are going to visit. Don’t wait any longer and secure your accommodation!

What is the best area to stay for Temps de Flors?

Although sleeping in Girona’s old town is tempting, during the festival it is very noisy and difficult to access by car. The smartest option is to look for rural accommodation on the Costa Brava, in towns like L’Escala or L’Estartit. You will be just 30-40 minutes from the city, enjoying peace and quiet and guaranteed parking.

No, the vast majority of the flower festival exhibitions in Girona are free and outdoors. Some private courtyards open their doors exceptionally during this week, allowing you to discover historical corners that are usually closed to the public the rest of the year.

If you are staying in L’Escala or L’Estartit, the most convenient way is to go by car via the C-66 or GI-633 roads. We recommend parking in the free La Devesa area, which is only a 10-minute walk from the heart of the Girona flower festival.

The festival usually lasts 9 days and is held in mid-May. To enjoy it with fewer people, the ideal time to visit is during the week. Staying near the coast allows you to come early in the morning and avoid the afternoon rush hours.
