Girona was a surprise for us: first because we had planned to drive straight from Valencia into France.
Not visit Barcelona (too busy) not visit the costa's (ditto) or any other place between us and the French border.
We changed our plans when we began to feel peckish... always a good reason to leave the Autostrada and go inland!
Second because we soon found out Girona had a very charming city centre with beautiful buildings and squares plus some high end shopping streets. Rich! Food: good!
We had some pintxos and wine at the Basque tapas bar 'Xibarri' on the Placa de la Independència in the middle of the city.
Fed and watered we drove the last hour to Perpignan in the setting sun.
Girona gave us a special bonus: the river Onyar that runs through the city and the buildings alongside it. I took some pictures to share with you.
