A significant 75% of visitors are expected outside the peak summer months, contributing to a total economic forecast of 6.7 million euros. On average, each passenger spends 90 euros in the local economy during their stay, which typically lasts about ten hours.
Popular destinations for these travelers include Girona's Old Quarter, the medieval villages of Pals and Peratallada, and Salvador Dalí landmarks in Figueres. Authorities remain vigilant regarding international conflicts and their potential effect on fuel prices.
