Girona tourist information
The city of Girona is a walled city of Roman origin and located at a strategic point on the route between the Pyrenees and Barcelona. The city has much to see in the way of a Cathedral, art & archaeology and an ancient Jewish quarter (El Call). The River Onyar divides the city from west to eat, most visitors spend their time on the east side in the old medieval part of the city. The Rambla, the main shopping street, bursts into bloom on Sunday mornings for the flower market. Shops and cafés bustle beneath the great arches. To the right is the labyrinth of lanes, alleys and stone steps of the Jewish quarter. We had a very enjoyable climb up the steps in the the narrow streets behind the cathedral within the city walls. The view over the city, and indeed the whole plain, is breathtaking. There are plenty of bars and restaurants and we had a very strong Carejelio (black coffee, usually served in a small glass, with alcohol which is like rocket fuel) in a simple cafe on the way back to the car. A great spot for some photography.
