Discover picturesque Girona

The Onyar River runs right through the middle of Girona. Along both sides of the river, you can admire the brightly coloured houses that hang over the banks. The reflections in the water lend an enchanting effect to the scene. While there are many bridges in Girona, the Pont de Peixateries Velles is the most eye-catching. The metal construction looks a bit like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which is hardly strange, since the red bridge was designed by the same architect as the Eiffel Tower, Gustav Eiffel.

More must-sees in Girona

Behind the colourful houses lies the old Jewish neighbourhood of El Call. This is one of the best-preserved Jewish neighbourhoods in the world and is certainly worth a visit. Next, stroll onward to the Cathedral de Santa Maria. The church building itself is lovely and you can learn all about the history of the city in the accompanying museum. Have you watched Game of Thrones? If so, this cathedral may look familiar. That’s because various scenes were filmed here at the cathedral. After a busy day spent visiting highlights, you will no doubt have worked up an appetite. Luckily, Girona boasts options to please any foodie. Be sure to try xuixo, a local delicacy consisting of puff pastry filled with crema catalana. Delicious!

“This colourful Spanish city is ideal for a city break, but you can also combine a visit to Girona with stops at the best beaches on the Costa Brava.’’
