Sercotel President
If there’s one place in Girona that fulfils the criteria of what we often call a “must-visit”, it would have to be Figueres. Not only because it’s the town of Salvador Dalí, but also because its location is so strategic that you can be on the beaches of the Costa Brava in 30 minutes and in France in an hour.
This means having everything at hand, and having everything at hand in comfort simply means staying at the Sercotel President, our four-star hotel in the city.
We’re in the centre of Figueres, a five-minute walk from the renowned Dalí Theatre-Museum. This excellent location makes us your ideal accommodation in the area.
We should just tell you that everything’s ready for your arrival. We’ve booked a parking space for you at our private facilities. We don’t want your car to sleep outdoors. We’ve also prepared for a visit by the whole family. Your pet included. Because the Hotel President has been pet-friendly since before being pet-friendly became fashionable.
We’ve done a final check of your room to ensure that everything’s perfect. It is. It’s spacious, eclectically decorated and soundproofed and we’ve provided you with a pillow menu in case you want to have a softer pillow. However, we know you’ll head straight for the hydromassage bath. Switch off.
We don’t know what your travel plans will be. Tell us about them when you get here. We’ll provide you with the hotel’s Wi-Fi password so that you can access all the tips on Google. But don’t be fooled, no matter how much the search engine knows, it will never have as much first-hand information as what we can provide you with at reception. Insider tips are guaranteed at the Sercotel President.
What we also guarantee is a great start to the morning. Here we believe in the saying “breakfast like a king” and we put it into practice with a buffet that lacks nothing; with our coffee, tea, toast, cold meats, pastries and fruit we serve you the day on a platter.

Girona and its surprising beauty
The city of Girona will always have the capacity to surprise you, remember that. There are many reasons for this, but the main one is its beauty: its medieval alleys, its colourfully painted houses along the Oñar river, its parks and old and charming shops, and its well-kept architecture on a par with the great European cities.
Do you need another reason? Girona is the perfect city to explore on foot or by bicycle on a city break. Also, to visit it is to visit more than 2,000 years of history.
You'll love to ramble around Girona at any time of the year. We have no proof, but neither do we have doubts. The houses on the river Oñar will be the first postcard scene to greet you. On one of its banks, pretty, colourfully painted houses are clustered together with the Cathedral and the basilica of Sant Feliu to form a film-like image.
Although for a film, or better still for a postcard, there is the view that the staircase leading up to the majestic Cathedral will give you. If you come in spring, when the 'Girona, 'en temps de flors' festival is held, you'll find it decked out in flowers. Both the cathedral and the whole city.
So much life and so much history as Girona is laid out in two fortified enclosures: the Força Vella (Old Fortress) and the medieval expansion. The first of these - a kind of acropolis - dates to the Roman period, and the second to the extension of the walls during the 14th and 15th centuries.
Delve into its past by walking along its walls, one of the few still preserved in Catalonia. Discover its Arab baths, the Rambla de la Llibertat, where you can sit and contemplate the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and the Plaça de la Independència.
One of its main attractions is undoubtedly the call jueu (Jewish quarter), a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets and hidden courtyards that maintain the essence of medieval times and reflect the importance of Jewish culture in Girona.
Did you know that it is also a city 100% recommended for food lovers? Its culinary dynamism is a blend of traditional and avant-garde cuisine. In Girona you will find a wide range of restaurants, including one of the best in the world: El Celler de Can Roca.
Outside the city walls, Mediterranean nature awaits you, and enclaves such as the Gavarres massif, ideal for active tourists; the beautiful valley of Sant Daniel... And the whole of the Costa Brava is just a stone's throw away!

Sappiamo che ci chiederete informazioni al riguardo. Ecco perché abbiamo raccolto tutte le informazioni necessarie per scoprire la Costa Brava di villaggio in villaggio e di caletta in caletta. Abbiamo segnato sulla mappa nomi come Blanes, Begur, Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc, Palamós e Cadaqués, la città natale di Dalí.
Se siete amanti delle escursioni, non perdetevi alcuni dei suoi luoghi più emblematici, come Cap de Creus, i giardini botanici di Marimurtra e Cap Roig e il Parco Naturale della Garrotxa, la terra dei vulcani. Proprio in questo parco è possibile visitare una dei magici faggeti della Spagna, la Fageda d'en Jordà.
Pura arte naturale. Ma se preferite l'altro tipo di arte, quella appesa alle pareti, venite a Figueres. Qui il geniale Salvador Dalí ha fatto le cose in grande e oggi è possibile ammirare buona parte delle sue creazioni nel Teatro-Museo Dalí. Siete nella culla del surrealismo. Godetevi lo spettacolo, vi aspettiamo al Sercotel President perché domani possiate rimettervi subito in viaggio.
