As you can see, the weather that day was not in the good mood, so we decided to use this grey day to discover our local capital. Girona city is the 2nd biggest city in Catalunya after Barcelona and is called for a capital of Costa Brava region. So many times we have been to all the small places around it, but we have never really paid it a proper visit. So today we decided to do something about it and took the bus here. It takes just 40 min by bus to come here from Platja d´Aro.
The old part of the city is really nice with the river running through it, the tiny streets and ramblas reminding the ones in Barcelona, its jewish quarter and a cathedral famous for once being a wedding venue for Dali.
They also have this bridge designed by Eifel. You can really see the resemblance with the tower in Paris.

The wall is surrounding the old town and you can walk on it overlooking the whole historical centrum.
