Girona

Girona, which is the town 100kms from Barcelona (the place where I flew in
via Ryan Air) and famous for the amazing riverside architecture.
Girona is the birth place of Salvador Dali.
Since my flight to Rome was later in the day
I spent much of the afternoon here wondering
about admiring this town.

The Famous houses of Girona.
While in Barcelona a chap at the hostel said that
during the old days people of Girona
competed with each other to build along the banks of this river.
