Where to stay in Sant Daniel
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Most beds sit over the ridge in Girona's walled quarter, past Torre Gironella and down through the gates, which leaves the valley as a place to walk into rather than sleep in. The Galligants valley trades bars for springs. Rooms near the Monastery of Sant Daniel suit walkers who want the Gavarres slopes and the water at the door.
Restaurants and late tables sit inside the walls, near Sant Pere de Galligants.

About Sant Daniel
What are the main landmarks in Sant Daniel?
The Monastery of Sant Daniel holds the middle of the valley, a Romanesque church and cloister set among the springs and woodland that the neighbourhood is known for. Downstream, where the Galligants reaches the city walls, Sant Pere de Galligants keeps its own cloister and the Archaeology Museum of Catalonia. Torre Gironella watches from the ridge above.
The Basilica of St. Felix and Girona Cathedral stand beyond it, inside the walls rather than in the valley.
What is the history of Sant Daniel?
Sant Daniel was a municipality in its own right until 1963, when it was joined to Girona and the valley became a neighbourhood inside the city rather than a village beside it. The monastery predates that change. Romanesque work at the Monastery of Sant Daniel had anchored the valley for centuries before any boundary in Girona was redrawn around it.
The Galligants has kept the same course past its walls.
Where is Sant Daniel?
The valley opens east of Girona's walled quarter, with the Galligants running through it and the wooded Gavarres closing the far end.
