This year’s Girona Flower Festival was a bit disappointing

This year’s Girona Flower Festival was a bit disappointing The Flowering Season exhibition takes place every year in Barri Vell, Girona, and in the days leading up to the exhibition the city is filled with plants and flowers. This floral display turns various attractions, courtyards and even corners of the city into unique gardens. Visitors feel like they are in a concert of wonderful colorful aromas, while at the same time admiring the cultural heritage of this Catalan city. This small town less than half an hour away from Barcelona (high-speed train) is the filming location for "Perfume" and "Game of Thrones". What makes me happiest is that starting from the second week of May every year, the old town (Barri Vell) is filled with flowers, and the whole city turns into a huge garden. After leaving Girona train station, walk northeast and cross the Pont de pedra bridge. Walking north along the Girona Ramblas de Libertad, you will see the famous red iron bridge Pont de les Peixateries Velles. After crossing the bridge you can see the Cathedral of Girona. You can start exploring the old town with the Cathedral of Girona as the starting point and landmark. Nearby alleys and historic buildings feature courtyards decorated with flowers and plants. During the Flower Festival, in addition to the steps in front of the Girona Cathedral being covered with flowers, the courtyard inside the Cathedral is highly recommended. In addition, the path behind the church is very historical. This festival has a history of more than 60 years. It started with some young entrepreneurs in 1954, held in some halls of the city hall, and has now become an international flower festival. It attracts hundreds of traveling placers from all over the world each year. Flowers and roses in Girona cover the entire streets, along with the city lights and fountains, adding more beautiful colors to this festival. It's a pity that the flowers in recent years seem to have lacked some of the bright colors that attract people's eyes. Most of the flower baskets are mainly white, including the flower carpet in front of the main church. There are also white flowers, and they are sparse. , lost the shock of previous years. Girona
