Girona


Girona city is one of my special places. Just up from Barcelona, a very special Catalan city. From the magnificent cathedral to the cobblestone streets. 



I love this part of Spain, it’s my spiritual home and luckily I have family here so I can visit as often as I like. 

I get off the plane at Girona airport and there is a smell that tells me I’m home. Somewhere between pig farms and the manure on the fields there is a smell that speaks to me.  It talks of family and food, sun and lazy walks in nature.  I can find a stillness here that is difficult to find anywhere else.

I’m presently in Spain for a family wedding so when the city prompt came up today I knew it called for my love affair with Girona, we were meant to be.
