Hidden Gem of Spain! A Captivating Medieval Journey in Girona

This time, we find ourselves in Girona, located in Catalonia, Spain, a place that feels like stepping back in time to the Middle Ages! This ancient city, chosen as the filming location for "King's Landing" in *Game of Thrones*, exudes a rich historical charm. Strolling along the banks of the Onyar River, you'll be mesmerized by the colorful houses reflecting in the water, creating a picturesque scene. Especially when viewed from the Eiffel-designed Stone Bridge (Pont de Pedra), the view is postcard-perfect! Step into the Jewish Quarter (El Call), where narrow, winding stone stairways evoke a sense of mystery. This is one of the best-preserved Jewish communities in Europe, and you can almost hear the whispers of history. The Girona Cathedral (Catedral de Girona) is another must-see, with its 22-meter-wide Gothic nave that leaves visitors in awe. At sunset, the interplay of light and shadow transforms the cathedral into a fantastical world. Girona is not only a paradise for history enthusiasts but also a hub of gastronomy and culture. From traditional Catalan cuisine to Michelin-starred restaurants, every bite is a treat for the taste buds. If time permits, don't miss the "Temps de Flors" flower festival in spring, when the entire city transforms into a vibrant sea of flowers! Girona, the jewel of Catalonia, is undoubtedly worth a special visit!
