At Can Cocollona, we offer some tips that you can use during your trip.
Girona, a city with beautiful landscapes, friendly people, high-quality gastronomy, and a desirable geographical position, not to mention the ‘cycling boom’ it has been experiencing. If you’re looking for culture and nature, Girona is what you need. Everyone is welcome to enjoy this destination, but at Can Cocollona, we strive to reinforce our commitment to environmental care and protection.
We know that today’s travelers are increasingly aware of their impact on the planet, and for this reason, we want to share some ways you can enjoy a more responsible stay, both environmentally and socially, in Girona.
- Stay in a Sustainable Hostel
At CanCocollona, we believe in responsible and conscious tourism, following the #SlowTravel philosophy. Therefore, we are a small establishment, which allows us to have a lower impact on the local community and get to know our guests better. We promote resource efficiency through shared common spaces, such as the lounge, kitchen, bathrooms, and patio. Additionally, we organize activities that connect our guests with the local community.
We respect the identity and well-being of communities, promoting sustainable tourism. We are pet-friendly and offer an authentic local experience under our motto ‘my home tu casa’. We invite travelers to immerse themselves in Catalonia, staying with us or in places away from the most crowded sites.
- Explore Girona by Bicycle
One of the best ways to get around Girona and its surroundings is by bicycle. The city is surrounded by stunning landscapes, and cycling is an ideal way to explore them without generating carbon emissions. At Can Cocollona, we guide our clients in renting bicycles with the intention of exploring the region sustainably. From coastal routes to rural paths, there are options for all levels of cyclists. The important thing is that by pedaling, you not only reduce your carbon footprint but also enjoy a closer experience with nature and local culture. Of course, without going to extremes, as many cyclists have arrived in recent months, and this can have other consequences.
- Participate in Sustainable Local Activities
Girona offers a wide range of activities that allow visitors to enjoy nature and culture. One option is to join guided tours of nearby natural parks to learn about local flora and fauna. You can also participate in regional cooking workshops, supporting local farmers and promoting food sustainability.
Additionally, at Can Cocollona, we provide information on activities and tours that prioritize conservation and environmental respect. We also organize activities to connect tourists with locals, such as our Jam Sessions.
- Consume Local Products
Another way to reduce environmental impact is by consuming local and organic products during your stay in Girona. Local markets offer a wide variety of fresh, seasonal foods. Shopping at these markets not only supports local producers but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with food transportation.
At Can Cocollona, we strive to offer local and sustainable products. We encourage you to discover the region’s flavors in an environmentally respectful way.
- Practice Responsible Tourism
Traveling sustainably also means being aware of your impact on the local community. We encourage you to respect Girona’s customs and traditions, as well as minimize your impact on natural spaces by following marked trails, not leaving waste, and opting for accommodations that work towards sustainability. By doing so, you contribute to preserving the environment for future generations.
At Can Cocollona, we are committed to promoting tourism that respects nature and local communities. We invite our guests to join us in this effort for a more sustainable future.
