The Hungarian low-cost airline, Wizz Air, plans to connect Budapest Airport with the charming town in Catalonia. The first flight is planned to depart on 1 April. That means the Hungarian budget airline will expand its network in Spain.

Girona, a charming pearl of Costa Brava

According to turizmus.com, Olívia Harangozó, the communications manager of Wizz Air, presented the airline’s plans for next year concerning Spain at an 11 December press conference. The event was attended by H. E. Ambassador Alfonso Dastis Quecedo and Rocio Martin, Consul for Tourism Affairs representing Spanish Embassies in Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania. They talked about Spanish traditions in the Advent and Christmas period.

The amazing town of Girona is just one hour away from Barcelona and a perfect starting point to discover Costa Brava. Girona is well-known for its beautiful Medieval architecture, coloured houses standing guard on the banks of River Onyar and vibrant cultural life. Of course, you can also discover the Mediterranean coast or the Pyrenees from there.

Wizz Air planes carry passengers to nine Spanish cities from Budapest.

According to turizmus.com, the Spanish Tourism Office aims to draw away crowds of tourists from Madrid or Barcelona to places like Girona. As a result, they could ease the negative effect of overtourism.
