Caught the slow train from Valencia up the Costa Brava coast to Girona. About a 6 hr. train ride.....local train that was packed and everyone brought along packed lunches etc.....colorful. It was lovely seeing all the little coastal bays as we hugged the coastline a lot of the way. As we made it farther north it was a bit cooler and then we went inland. Lovely fields and villages perched on hilltops.
Girona really is a bit like a mini Florence......but I mean very mini.....great cathedral, wonderful old Jewish quarter and historic houses alongside the River Onya. We walked the top of the city fortress walls.....amazing. Girona is a bit of a hub for Ryan Air cheap flights as opposed to Barcelona landing fees.
Nice spot but really a one day's town.
