The Old City of Girona

We arrived early and it was a bit overcast. Nevertheless, it was gorgeous.

We visited the old city of Girona a few weeks ago and it was so colorful and green. It is situated on the banks of a river and somewhat reminded me of Venice. The locals have painted the house these incredibly vibrant and warm shades of red, oranges and yellows.

The town is covered in Catalan independence flags, which was quite a sight, in and of itself.

We only had time for a walking tour - not to enter the city's main sights such as the Cathedral, museum, or enjoy the view from the old city walls but it left such a strong impression that I am eager to go back. Here are a few photos of its charm.

The Cathedral

A freaking cool modern door.

Walking through one of the plazas, enjoying the shade.

The narrowest of walkways.

Large keys being sold at an outdoor antique market.

Outside the entry of one of the churches, there was this decoration in the cobblestone.

We started climbing the wall but turned back after we realized how far up it is.

The church tower from the walk to to the top.

A door suspended on the city wall. I wonder where those stairs lead.
