The best cafe is that one which is also a Library. I don't remember the name. There are a lot of pub, like the "Circle" and the "Excalibur", they are nice. Girona is not the kind of place you can have fun every night. Is' the kind of place where you can study and have a lot ogf firnds.. because it's really an Univeristy town: small and quiet.
