Is it harder to buy as a foreigner in Girona?+

No legal barrier — any non-resident can buy. You will need an NIE (foreigner ID number) and should budget roughly 10–13% on top of the price for taxes and fees. A high foreign-buyer share usually means local notaries and gestores are well used to non-resident purchases.
