Medical Centre in Girona and the Costa Brava: Clínica Eupnea, in Palamós

If you searched for a medical centre in Girona and ended up here, let's start with the important part: Clínica Eupnea is not in the city of Girona. It is in Palamós, on the Costa Brava, in the province of Girona and about 47 km from the provincial capital by road. The address is Passeig del Mar, 41.

For a one-off general medicine visit, the most practical option is usually the centre closest to you. This guide is for people who live on the coast or spend part of the year there, who need a specialist and the tests in one place, or who want to know whether the trip is worth it: what the clinic offers, how to get there from different parts of the province, which insurers it works with and when it is open.

Where Clínica Eupnea is in the province of Girona

Palamós is a town in the Baix Empordà district, on the Costa Brava, between Platja d'Aro and Palafrugell. The clinic is on the ground floor of number 41 on Passeig del Mar, the seafront promenade, facing the beach.

It is a private medical centre for consultations and diagnostic tests. It has no inpatient beds and no emergency department: in a serious emergency, the number to call is 112.

Getting there from Girona and other towns

By car from Girona

It is about 47 km. The most direct route is the C-65 and then the C-31 to Palamós, which takes around 50 minutes without traffic. In summer, coastal traffic can make it considerably longer. There are on-street parking spaces along Passeig del Mar and reserved spaces for people with reduced mobility near the entrance.

By bus

The Moventis Sarfa e3 line links Girona with Palamós via Platja d'Aro and continues to Palafrugell. The bus stops along the way and takes longer than the car; timetables and journey times are on the Moventis website.

From other towns

When it is worth coming to Palamós

If you live in Girona city and only need a general medicine appointment, a centre nearby will suit you better. The trip makes more sense in these cases:

• You live, work or spend part of the year on the coast: Palamós, Calonge, Platja d'Aro, Palafrugell, Pals, Begur and Sant Feliu de Guíxols are all less than half an hour away.
• You need a consultation and the matching test in the same place: pulmonology with spirometry, ENT with a hearing test, allergology with allergy tests, or a snoring and sleep apnoea assessment with overnight polygraphy.
• You want to see more than one specialist without changing centres.
• You are already a patient there, or someone has recommended a particular professional.

Twenty-three professionals from more than 15 specialties see patients at Clínica Eupnea: pulmonology, ENT (ear, nose and throat), cardiology, general and family medicine, allergology, endocrinology, radiology and ultrasound, gastroenterology, general surgery, paediatrics, gynaecology, dermatology, aesthetic medicine, psychology and neuropsychology, podiatry, dietetics and nutrition, respiratory physiotherapy, acupuncture and nursing.
