Two days in Girona

We have just spent two days in Girona, a lovely city north of Barcelona, following our walk of the Costa Brava.

Right after we checked in we found a street market set up on the pedestrian bridge near our hotel. Lots of cool stuff at the market but the only thing I captured on camera was the very friendly cat with whom I had a little visit.

We then wandered the old town. Saw the Jewish quarter that dates back to the 12th century and it's very narrow street on which many people lived.

We next moved on to the Cathedral of St Mary, of Game of Thrones fame. It has almost 100 steps up to the Cathedral. These are the steps Jamie Lannister rode up on his horse. Other than GoT it is known for having the largest nave of any Gothic church in the world. It is a pretty spectacular site.

We finished our day enjoying some Catalan Vermut before we headed to dinner.

Today we walked around the city some more, visited the Arab baths and walked the top of the city walls.

The photo with all the yellow is the doors to a school. Such an adorable way to welcome the students.

After walking about 12 kms around the city it was time for a glass of Vermut before a light dinner.Read more
