10 Free Things to Do in Girona, Spain, Girona, Spain
Everyone loves a freebie, so I’m kicking off my posts on my recent travels with the top 10 free things to do in Girona, Spain!
I recently spent about a week in Girona, enjoying a mini reunion of my international student friends from last year. Two of these lovely ladies go to university in Girona. Alexia also happens to have lived in Girona her whole life so I’m not short of expert opinion when it comes to this list of free things to do in Girona. To even further boost the reliability of this post, I’ll also mention that my friends both study Tourism… making them the ideal hosts and ultimate sources of information on 1) tourist-worthy and 2) free things to do in Girona ;P
And if you’ve never heard of/thought of visiting Girona before – Girona is a city in Catalonia, about an hour north of Barcelona. I hope my photos and tips can be a little tour guide for you, just as Alexia and Angela were for me!
Girona’s jewel is the Eiffel bridge, which although it was designed by the same Gustave Eiffel as Paris’ Eiffel Tower, with a similar aesthetic, is understated just like the rest of the city. TripAdvisor seems to bash it for its humble appearance, but I loved the Eiffel Bridge’s simplicity. As you walk across, make sure you get a quintessential photo looking at the colorful houses along the river Onyar through the bridge’s steel work! ......
