Shopping in Girona

In Girona, most things can be bought on Amazon.es. It's just generally the convenient place to buy stuff. If ordering from outside the EU (from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com for example), you may need to pay import tax.

Most shops in Girona are closed on Sundays, and those that are open tend to close early.

There is a shopping mall just outside Girona called Espai Girones. It's a 1-hour walk from Girona or 30 minutes by bus. It has shops, a cinema, food court, restaurants, bowling, and free parking.
