SPAIN ~ Girona - Catalonia ~

 ... Wonderful view of one of Catalonia's most charming cities... set in the valley of the Ter, at the confluence of four rivers close to the Pyrenees... the so-called “City of the Four Rivers” is a sublime medieval city partly surrounded by an impressive city wall, pleasant squares, cobbled streets, and a wealth of historical monuments and buildings... the amazing Girona Cathedral dominates the skyline... famous for it's 19th-century painted houses line at the river Onyar... the Jewish quarter or El Call is one of the best preserved in Europe and a major tourist attraction...Thanks a lot Josep & Assumpta!!
