Girona
Girona's big draw is its Old Town, a tight huddle of ancient arcaded houses, grand
churches and climbing cobbled streets, so head first for the star attraction - the Catedral -
either by strolling along the lazy Río Onyar or by taking the high road along the medieval
walls, followed by a visit to the Call (medieval Jewish quarter) and the excellent Museu
d'Història dels Jueus de Girona before taking your pick of the restaurants in the nearby
streets.
After lunch, continue your exploration of other Old Town sights, such as the wonderfully
intact Banys Àrabs or the attractive cloisters and verdant grounds of the Monestir de Sant
Pere de Galligant, before finding a bar around the Plaça Independencia to while away the
evening.
