Girona Shots

What a pleasant, pleasant surprise.




Truth is, the only reason we visited this magnificient medieval town was that our flight back to London departed from this airport.

I still dream of what it would be like to live in such a historic place. Where the walls have witness centuries of fighting, and the architechture designed for lliving lives of centuries ago.


The inner town is actually a fortress/castle, and a paradise for photographic opportunists.


An ivy-covered wall, in fall colours.





An old well I think?




Sunday market - people selling cheese, baked goods, antiques.



The grand pair of doors leading up to our little inn, the charming little Bells Oficis.


Inside the dining room of the Bells Oficis.

Steps and narrow streets abound.



The ancient Girona cathedral at night.



.....and in the day.



Shot from different angles, this one from the cathedral onto the stairs leading up to it.


Shot of one of its walls.



Gardens behind the cathedral.



I truly dream of living in such a city, where it looks as if people are living within the ancient fort, and its walls are still living and breathing after centuries, still protecting its people inside it.
