title Girona, Catalunya, Spain - 17th September 2006 intro The first stop-off on a week away is on the way up to Roussillon, where Nosher and Isobel decide to have a quick scope around the town of Girona, just to see what's there. As it turned out, it was a really nice town (which we re-visit at the end of the week) and which probably only about 1% of the hordes that fly in to Girona Airport on their way to the Costa Brava ever find their way to. imgp6420 A Dali-esque mural on a derelict wall imgp6421 Colourful painting of a wrecked building imgp6422 Close-up of bricks and paintwork imgp6423 Multi-coloured bins in the street imgp6424 In the square near the Correo imgp6425 Isobel gets a drink imgp6427 Isobel takes a slurp of water from the fountain imgp6431 Girona apartment blocks across the river imgp6433 Close up detail of colourful apartments imgp6434 A slender footbridge crosses Girona's river imgp6436 Café street life imgp6439 Shutters and railings imgp6441 A leafy back street imgp6446 The many steps of Girona Cathedral imgp6448 Isobel lurks imgp6450 Isobel wanders the back streets imgp6451 People milling around on the streets imgp6453 Buskers fill the quiet streets with music imgp6454 Isobel at a café table imgp6456 More café life imgp6458 We have a lunch of salad and crěpes at a café imgp6459 Catalan water imgp6460 Café scenes imgp6463 A pigeon does what pigeons do: scrounge for food imgp6465 Bloke at a café imgp6467 Street light imgp6468 People on a bridge imgp6469 More packed-in apartments imgp6470 A protest banner flutters in the warm breeze imgp6471 Covered walkway around the main courtyard
