Apartments buildings on the banks of the Riu Onyar in Girona, Spain
In early may we took a trip to Barcelona, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal; along the way we made some day trips to other cities nearby. Here are a few selects from our day in Girona, Spain. These images are of the monastery, the cathedral, and the remains of the medieval wall that once girdled the city.
What’s missing from these are the charming streets, squares, and arcades of shops and restaurants that add to the reasons for a visit to this beautiful city of rivers and hills. I wasn’t so much focused on photographing those aspects as much as simply enjoying them.

I’ve just returned from a trip to Girona – I completely agree about enjoying the squares and cute cobbled streets, it just adds so much character to the city. But absolutely love the photos you’ve got here!
Thanks so much! Yes, Girona was a really lovely town, and walking the wall was incredible.
