A Peaceful Day in Girona

#postandearn Visiting Girona was like stepping into a quiet corner of Catalonia where history and charm go hand in hand. Just a short train ride from Barcelona, the city felt refreshingly calm and authentic, with fewer crowds and plenty to discover. I started my day walking along the medieval walls that surround the old town. The views over the rooftops and the distant hills were stunning, especially in the morning light. From there, I explored the narrow stone alleys of the Jewish Quarter — one of the best preserved in Europe — where time seemed to slow down. The highlight was the Girona Cathedral, with its wide staircase and massive single nave, which gave it a powerful, imposing feel. Nearby, I visited the Arab Baths, a small but atmospheric site that offered a glimpse into the city’s layered past. As I wandered toward the Onyar River, the colorful houses lining its banks created a postcard-perfect scene. I crossed the red iron bridge built by Gustave Eiffel — a lovely contrast to the historic surroundings. Girona impressed me with its beauty, calm atmosphere, and rich history. It’s a city that invites you to take your time, explore quietly, and appreciate the details — and that’s exactly what I did. #travel #thingstodo #spain
