Girona Social Club

From Guide to Girona

Girona Social Club was a social group created and run by Turkish-born Gülseren Özübal (@lachicaturcaa).[1] Gülseren created the group in October 2022, and for a few months it was extremely active, with group dinners, a Christmas meetup, a Carnival party, and a picnic. The group died a few months later. Gülseren's last post to the group's Facebook group was on 30th May 2023, when she posted photos of recent meetups and an list of future meetups that would never actually happen, including a paella day, a latino dance night, bowling, speed dating, movie night, and a language exchange.

Their slogan was "good vibes only".
