Discover Girona - Descobriu Girona

Aquest dies de festa ens hem passejat per Girona. Pels que la coneixeu no calen paraules, pels que no la coneixeu tant; només us puc dir que és altament recomanable.

Girona ha sabut conservar la seva essència, ciutat moderna i carismàtica on el barri vell atura el temps i et porta als carrerons estrets, empedrats i plens de racons per descobrir.

Aquests dies en família hem passejat pel barri vell, la muralla, la catedral, el call jueu i fins i tot hem fet la visita en trenet ;-o)

Hem vist els manaies abillats com els antics legionaris romans i també els encaputxats... la meva filla gran va dir que feien por; ens vam saltar la processó que les nenes no haguessin entès...

Us deixo algunes fotos dels racons que hem vist i de les descobertes que hem fet.

We have spent a week in Girona for Easter. For those who know already Girona no words are needed, for those who don’t know much about Girona; I can only say a visit is highly recommended.

Girona has preserved its essence but it is also a charismatic modern city where the old district “stops time” and takes you through the narrow, cobbled streets full of places to discover.

These days we’ve been walking through the Old town, the old city wall, the cathedral, the Jewish quarter and even we did a sightseeing tour on the train ;-o)

We've seen legions of Ancient Roman soldiers (manaies) and the penitents (encaputxats) in the processions ... my daughter said they were scary; so we skipped the procession that girls wouldn’t have understood...

I leave you some pictures of places we've seen and discoveries we made.
