Comarques Gironines

1

Comarques Gironines (English: Girona counties) or the Girona region is the northeasternmost of the nine regions (vegueries) of Catalonia. It has an area of 5,558 km² and 761,690 inhabitants as of 2022. Located by the border with Northern Catalonia in France, the region includes the counties of Gironès, Alt Empordà, Baix Empordà, Garrotxa, Pla de l'Estany, Ripollès and Selva. Within Catalonia, it borders Alt Pirineu to the west, Central Catalonia to the south-west and Barcelona to the south. Its demarcation is similar to that of the Spanish province of Girona, which differs from the vegueria in that it also includes part of Baixa Cerdanya and the municipalities of Espinelves, Vidrà and Viladrau, which belong to Osona. The county of Ripollès, along with Lluçanès and Osona in Central Catalonia, comprise the natural region and proposed separate vegueria of Alt Ter. The region's capital is the city of Girona.
