On to Girona. A beautiful old city North of Barcelona. The Ciudad Viejo (old city) has lots of interesting sights. Several Gothic Churches, Jewish Museum, and an extensive City wall walk.
The city wall walk is quite extensive and reveals many great views of the old town and beyond, along the way.
The jewish museum tells the story of the jewish community from the early mid ages 'til the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. The museum is situated on the site of the last active Synagogue in Girona before that time. Excavation of the site revealed a mikveh (ritual bath).
On to another Medieval village, Ainsa. A beautiful old town situated in the foot hills of the Pyrenees in Aragona.
Quite a contrast to Barcelona, but equally interesting and delightful!
Happy weekend!
cheers, CW
