PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Girona
01
Use Girona historic core as the orientation base, then group Girona historic anchor and Girona market and food route before crossing to the other side of Girona.
02
Give Girona waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Girona regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Girona regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
