Street in Girona
Girona’s old town is a compact area of medieval streets, colorful houses along the Onyar River, a Gothic cathedral with the widest Gothic nave in the world, and a remarkably well-preserved Jewish Quarter (Call Jueu). Free to walk. The river houses (Cases de l’Onyar) reflected in the water are the postcard image. Budget travelers take the cheap train from Barcelona (40 minutes by high-speed) and walk a medieval city that Game of Thrones used as a filming location.
