Girona
Explore
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 Catedral - either by strolling along the
lazy Río Onyar or by taking the high road along the medieval walls. Follow this with a visit
to El Call (the medieval Jewish quarter) and the excellent Museu d'Història dels Jueus de
Girona before taking your pick of the numerous 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 of the Monestir de Sant Pere de Galligants, be-
fore finding a bar around the Plaça de l'Independència to put your feet up for a while.
