On one of the afternoons that we spent at the beach, we decided to drive into Girona. It is about a 30 minute drive from our hotel. After a miscue from Garmin GPS on finding the old town center (ending up in a neighborhood in front of someones house, who happened to be on their front porch) and finding parking, we finally found our way to the old medieval town. I loved this fountain. It is the second time I"ve seen plants growing on the fountain. I loved it.
Let me just say, it was worth every wrong turn down one way streets that we made! It was everything the handsome husband was looking for. It was very medieval and it was very picturesque and clean. We loved it. It was one of the highlights of the trip.
The castle wall that runs the perimeter of the historic old town. You can walk along it.
Inside is a rabbit warren of tiny streets filled with restaurants and shops. Loved it. It is built on a hillside and we climbed a lot of stairs.
View towards the church and castle. Everytime we turned a corner, we were in awe.
You could walk all through the castle passageways and on top of the turrets and walls.
I could just imagine these torches lit at night lighting the streets.
