Why Girona

A place that changes you — in the best way

Girona is one of Europe's best-kept secrets. A medieval city with a thriving café culture, world-class cycling routes, and a pace of life that makes you wonder why you waited so long.

Add the Costa Brava coastline 40 minutes away, Barcelona an hour by train, and a growing international community — and you start to see why thousands of expats, retirees, and remote workers are quietly making this their home.

Compact, walkable city with incredible quality of life
Mediterranean climate — sun, coast, and mountains within reach
Strong cycling and outdoor culture (Tour de France stage city)
Growing expat and remote work community
Excellent international schools and family amenities
More affordable than Barcelona — with more space and calm

Real stories

What our clients say

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what international movers have told us about their experience.

"We'd been researching Girona for two years, but Moving Stories did more in two weeks than we'd managed in all that time. They matched us with the perfect neighbourhood, handled our lease translation, and even recommended a brilliant local school for our daughter. We couldn't have done this without them."
J
James & Lucia Hargreaves
Family of 3 — relocated from London, UK
"As a remote worker, I needed somewhere with good internet, walkability, and a real café culture. Moving Stories understood immediately — no explaining needed. Within a week I had a shortlist of apartments in Girona's centre that actually fit my work-life setup. I'm now writing this from my favourite terrace."
M
Mia Löfgren
Remote designer — relocated from Stockholm, Sweden
"Retiring to Spain sounded wonderful until we hit the reality of NIE numbers, bank accounts, and Spanish healthcare. Moving Stories took all of that stress away. They held our hand through every step. At 66, we didn't expect the move to feel so... smooth. Our only regret is not doing it sooner."

40+ free guides, written from experience

Before the service, there was the blog. For the past few years I've been writing honest, practical guides about every aspect of moving to Girona — from NIE applications to finding a GP, from navigating the rental market to understanding Catalan culture.

It's free, it's thorough, and it's written by someone who made this move herself. Think of it as the resource I wished had existed when I arrived.
