Bus to Cadaques

As it took me 10 minutes and I found it by chance in the end, here you have the link:

It seems that you have to go to Figueres first. There used to be one bus from Girona, but I can't find it any more.
It takes 40 minutes to Figures by train, and then 1 hour the bus.

Biking to the sea

A great idea is to rent a bike to ride to the sea. There is a green path very well built that follows the track of an old rail way. It goes from Olot to Girona, and from Girona to Sant Feliu. It is very well marked and easy to follow. Here are the links:

• Olot-Girona
• Girona-Sant Feliu

A great idea is to avoid the return by taking the bus back. Teisa serves all these destinations. Olot is up the mountains, so you probably will want to take the bus there and ride down, while Sant Feliu is great all the way down to the sea, a paella and then a peaceful return with the bike on the bus.
A place to rent a bike very near the apartment is Girona Cycle Center. They are very good professionals, they rent any type of bikes and qualities.
Another idea is to use an electric bike: burricleta. Unfortunately they are not in Girona but if you have a car they have rent them in very nice surroundings, about 40 minutes ride from Girona.

The sea!

Girona is not far from the sea yet it is hard to get to there, and even more to beautiful place a bit away from massive tourism.
So the proposal is to go to Colera. It is about one hour North of Girona, near a natural park. Be warned:
- buy your picnic before you go (and water), as you won't find much over there.
- not all trains going North stop there, only every 2 hours. Don't miss them!
This is the timetable:

A bath in a lake Banyoles!

You don't need to go to the beach to get refreshed! Banyoles has a quite large lake (for Catalan standards) and is just 30 minutes by bus. The village itself is quite nice, and then the lake is 10 minutes away. It is very nice to walk around, and there is a special place for swiming. Picnic recommended.
It's very easy to get there by bus:

From: Girona To: Banyoles Depart Stop: Girona Jutjats ( 5 min from apartment, just cross the bridge)
Check well the return not to get stuck there!

Medieval Village- Besalú

Besalú is a charming village not far from Girona, full of stone roads, bridges... and well, a few tourists too.
It's very easy to get there by bus:

Dalí Museum in Figueres

"A true painter is one who can paint extraordinary scenes in the middle of an empty desert. A true painter is one who can patiently paint a pear in the midst of the tumults of history." Salvador Dalí

 If you love paintings, you must go. If are tired of visiting museums... you have to go anyway. Dalí was a genius and made sure that everyone would know, and the museum is very easy and pleasant to visit, even for those who, like me, get asleep after half an hour in a museum.
Here are the links.
You need to take the train from Girona to Figueres:

Just check well the timetables (and return). You'll buy the ticket at the trainstation.
And buy the entrance of the museum. Specially in summer, tickets may be sold out:
