What is "girona"

Girona (, , ) is a city in the northeast of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia in Spain, at the confluence of the rivers Ter, Onyar, Galligants, and Güell and has an official population of 97,586 as of January 2015. It is the capital of the province of the same name and of the comarca of the Gironès. It is located northeast of Barcelona. Girona is one of the major Catalan cities.

Girona is one of the 52 electoral districts used for the Spanish Congress of Deputies - the lower chamber of the Spanish Parliament, the Cortes Generales. It is one of four electoral districts which correspond to the provinces of Catalonia. Girona is the largest municipality although it only has 60,000 voters out of the total electorate of 457,000. Figueres is the second largest municipality with 28,000 voters. There are no other municipalities with electorates over 25,000. The district has traditionally been one of the weakest for the national parties of the right, who, since 1982, have only won a seat on one occasion in the district. It was one of only two districts in the 2004 election (along with Lleida) where the People's Party (PP) failed to win a seat. With the PP gaining a seat in Lleida in 2008, Girona was the only district without PP representation in the 2008-2011 parliament. The PP regained their seat at the 2011 election, when they received their highest ever vote share.

The district has traditionally favoured the Convergence and Union coalition, although the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) topped the poll at the 2004 and 2008 elections.
