Comments about Girona city and Girona province
The province of Girona is very well-known
by its coast: the Costa Brava, but many people also know the enchantments
of the
inner Girona province, with their medieval towns
and villages like Monells (to go for a walk there means to step back in
history), and with its landscapes and magical places worthy to visit.
To use the word magical means something, we experienced it and we know
about the telluric force there.
To know the province of Girona, it is worth to visit, later or before,
the city of Girona. We refer to the words of the City council,
which are published in its Web site to make a small summary about Girona
: "A stroll allows to enjoy the life of the city, the old part, a
project of patrimonial rehabilitation of which we ?eel proud, the houses
on the river Onyar, the offer of museums, the Cathedral, the church of
Sant Feliu, the walk along the Wall... are places to contemplate, to take
a walk without haste, for leisure"... "
Girona has the
enchantment of the great cities but without agglomerations; it
is a city made for human beings, a city to lose itself in all the senses:
streets, celebrations (fiestas), cultural life, tourist services, restaurants,
acts, festivales... You can enjoy it at any time of the year and, if you
can, come back, because the city is alive and it always offers surprises
." Mentioning the celebrations (fiestas) we would like to recommend
a very special one:
the Week of the Flowers; we are referring
again to the Web of the City council of Girona: "Week of the Flowers:
First fortnight of May. During nine days, in different spaces and gardens
all over the city, monuments and museums decorate with flowers and art
exhibitions. Private places will be open and can be visited. Also exhibitions
and concerts are programmed.... "
