A stroll through the centre of Girona

A medieval town stretching along the banks of the River Onyar; a stroll through Girona’s old town, taking in the Rambla, its pedestrianised streets and its city walls, not forgetting the beautiful Girona Cathedral, perched high above, which offers magnificent views.
