Girona
by AlbertoSalinas
where to stay: PENSIÓN MARGARIT... nothing great or special, but good location fom train&bus station, cheap and friendly hostess
what to visit: have a walk to old town centre, accross the river from the "new" town. streets around the cathedral are worth to see, there's a nice view of the Pyrinees... maybe a good exhibition in Fundación La Caixa. the streets show medieval reminders of the town... nice cafeterias by the river

Catalan
by DPando
Girona is located in northern Catalonia, just 60kms away from the french border.. if visit barcelona without speaking catalan is easy and doesnt entail a problem, Girona is quite different. Expect that everybody talk to you in catalan as a first speech in restaurants, bars or in the streets because the catalan roots are so so deep here.. more even than in Barcelona
Salvador Dali
by teresopinha
If you really want to make this trip unfforgetable, don't miss Salvador Dali's museum. It's located in a small village called Figueres, and it's an amazing museum and the village is very lovely!!
Don't miss it....
