| Girona at the river Onyar |
In May 2003 I stayed 2 days of my Spain trip in Girona (Catalunya) to visit my VT friend Prunila. Please read my travelogue "Tickets and people" for a personal meeting review.
Girona is located about 100 km northeast of Barcelona. The beautiful medieval city is split by the river Onyar and has about 75.000 inhabitants.The city centre has many narrow cobbled lanes and is bordered by medieval walls with walkways and vantage points. It offers many historic sights like the magnificient cathedral, the church of Sant Feliu or the Jewish quarter. Uncountable cafes, bars and restaurants in the city centre invite for a rest.
Girona is well placed for trips to the Catalan inland (e.g. Figueres with the famous Dali museum) and the scenic Costa Brava with its dramatic coastline and lovely beaches.

Holger, thanks for visiting my Cusco page. I enjoyed your Catalunya tips most especially the ones related to Girona, la Costa Brava and the Dali Museum. Would love to explore that part of Spain in the future. Cheers! -Marissa- | LoriPori Mon Jan 26, 2009 13:59 UTC
