February is one of the most underrated months for a group getaway in Girona. The days are getting longer, the countryside is green after the winter rain, it is peak calçot season and the Costa Brava and the villages are quiet, with no tourists.
We are Carmen and Dani, and we have been hosting groups of 16 to 25 at Can Micos, our farmhouse in Riudarenes, for over 26 years. February is low season: more dates available and the lowest prices of the year.

Girona and the coast without tourists

On Dijous Gras, the Thursday before Carnival, Catalans eat egg sausage (botifarra d’ou) and coca de llardons. There are no public holidays in February, so weekends are the best option.
Days indoors: fireplace and a long table
February also brings rainy days, and at Can Micos they are among the most enjoyable. Central heating in every room, the fireplace in the living room, sofas, board games and a film on the TV. The 115 m² covered barbecue area lets you grill even in the rain. More ideas in our 16 rainy-day plans.
