In today’s episode we are in Girona, just north of Barcelona in Spain. This is a little known Spanish gem and I’m sure after this episode you will definitely want to visit. Many people do daytrips from Barcelona as it is only 38 minutes on the fast train, but we share the best 3 day itinerary for exploring this interesting city. Of course we cover the fascinating history including the most preserved Jewish Quarter in Spain, we walk the city walls after we found the entrance (thanks to a group of teenagers who disappeared before our eyes). Girona is a huge sporting city and is world famous as being the place where many teams live and train for the tour de France. Stay listening to the end to hear about the best food, the most interesting cocktail we saw but also to find out about the “red bridge”. This bridge was designed and built by an extremely famous person – who was responsible for the most recognisable structure in the world, but he built this bridge first – So please enjoy episode 121, and if you want to see the photos of Girona then click the link here www.beachtravelwine.com/podcast/121/girona And if you look at the picture of the red bridge – you will instantly know who built it.

Did you know Barcelona has an Arc to Triumph – and it is at the entrance to a stunning park area filled with lakes, gold encrusted waterfalls, tropical jungle plants and even a zoo? No, neither did we and this was our 4th trip to Barcelona. Not only did we discover this gorgeous area, we finally went to the world-famous Montserrat monastery complex high in the mountains, just outside of the city. We loved it so much and can’t believe we left it this long to experience the incredible place. We share absolutely everything you need to know in this episode for the perfect visit. Stay listening to the end to hear how I braved my fear of heights to go up the funicular to experience probably the best views anywhere in Spain.
