Alongside the C-65, the road that connects Girona with the Costa Brava, stands the headquarters of the largest Spanish-owned resource company in Spain. Every day, it hires a total of 27,000 people from seven countries; 91,000 annually. And it does so from the industrial park in a cork-producing town, with no intention of abandoning its 35-year history. This is Eurofirms, which, with a turnover exceeding €700 million in 2025 and a 13% growth rate, holds the third-largest market share in the sector nationwide. But that's not enough for them.

In 2000, the city of Girona had just over 73,000 inhabitants. Currently, there are more than 107,000 registered residents. In a quarter of a century, the population has grown by 43%. But this growth isn't limited to the city itself; the entire metropolitan area has seen an even more significant increase (48%). Vilablareix has doubled its population, but Fornells de la Selva, Sant Gregori, Sant Julià de Ramis, Campllong, and Quart are close behind. These towns, with inadequate public transportation, depend directly on Girona for their residents' daily lives: many commute to work in the city. Thinking of Girona no longer means thinking only of the city itself, but of the entire metropolitan area. But which municipalities should be included?
