In Girona you will find everything! It is well worth taking a walk around the city, just window-shopping or trawling through the market stalls on a Tuesday or Saturday, or having a look at the street markets that set up throughout the year. The scope of shopping possibilities is just one more attraction for visitors. The historic centre has been pedestrianised, allowing the visitor to combine a walk around the city with a look at some of the wide variety of shops. Many shops have sprung up in the 'Eixample' area as well as in the new areas of Palau-Montilivi and Güell-Girona. Located near the north and south approaches to the city are specialized shopping centres and hypermarkets.
 From Girona you can take with you or sample while you are there, some of the traditional products of the area, such as the 'xuixo' cake, sweet 'botifarra' pork sausage, black earthenware, chocolates inspired by city legends, iron craftwork, objects and work produced by craftspeople, artists and other inhabitants of the city.
