When is the rainy season in Girona, and how does it affect coastal day trips?

Girona’s rainy season peaks October-November, with frequent short downpours. Annual rainfall averages 650 mm, mostly light to moderate. Coastal roads to Costa Brava remain open, but hiking trails in the Pyrenees foothills may be slippery. Carry a compact rain jacket and check local trail alerts via Ajuntament de Girona’s tourism portal.

Is tipping customary in Girona’s restaurants and cafes?

Tipping is not mandatory in Girona, as service is included in the bill (‘servici inclòs’). However, leaving small change (€1-€2 per person) or rounding up the total is appreciated for good service, especially in sit-down restaurants. No tip is expected at bars for drinks or pastries.
