Day 28 Last day in Girona

Final day in Girona. The plan - visit our fav spots and hit some places we’d missed.

Went for breakfast at our fav restaurant just around the corner - La Comuna Café. Lots of young folks & bikers - delish healthy food, good coffee.

From there we headed over the nearby bridge - Pont de Sant Feliu - a flea market was set up there. Must confess I had some of those old cameras - delighted now to snap, snap, edit, edit, delete, delete.

Next stop - Mercat del Lleò. Wished we’d discovered this day 1. It’s open everyday 7am- 3pm. Soooo much fresh fish, so many types of fruits & veggies. Why, were we eating frozen fish? 🤨

We dropped off our purchases, then headed to Parc de la Devesa for a quick work out. Love my easy outdoor circuit.

Next stop, the Jewish History Museum. We’re not religious, but the “heart” of the old city is the Jewish area, so we thought we should learn more. Seems there was a large Jewish population here back in the 9th century, but by 1492 they’d almost disappeared due to forced conversion or exile. The museum is on the site of the last synagog in the city. By the end of the 1970s some of the buildings were rehabilitated, then in 1992 it became a public facility and was more fully restored. The museum is extremely well done - comprehensive video, lots of old pics & info, and well restored sections - synagog, funeral parlour, baths.

For our final beers, we chose Somia in « our » courtyard - lots of local families, kids & action. As the pic shows, you can see our place and the top of the Basilica from there.

Heading to Paris tomorrow by train, then home. Will reflect more on the whole trip then . . . .Read more
