The Old Town of Girona is about seven streets and most handsome. It is very historical and certainly a tourist destination, but while I was there, there was a creative flower show on. It provided flowers to artists to make art with. This brought extra thousands into the old town and but it was a happy and friendly crowd on a beautiful warm day - one of the few of the entire trip.
In Girona, the only hotel I could even find, was the Melia and it had a pull off spot right in front. In a world of tiny, minimalist, barren rooms, this was not only the best deal of the trip, but the best deal I think I ever had in a four star.It was a large, quiet and comfortable room with a beautiful bathroom, large buffet breakfast, free internet and parking. Anywhere else that would have added up to $200++, but it was less than $100 in Girona.
I think I saw this in Girona and probably you should know about it too in case there is a test later. It is St. Narcissus - Honest, I am not making this up. I t appears to be his tomb. He didn't look that cute, but must have been a knock-out at some time - or he thought he was - to get that grand title.
