Traveller notes on Girona in May
Girona's forum describes May as genuinely split — early May can be cool and rainy, while the back half turns noticeably more summery and reliable. Regulars point to the city's Temps de Flors flower festival as a highlight worth timing a visit around, and flag the sea as still too cold for swimming this early, making May better suited to walking and sightseeing than the beach.
