Oh god it’s early. We have met up with our local friends and we are on the train to Girona. As explained to me, this place is famous for:
- Being in some Game of Thrones episodes.
- Being a cycling hub, apparently for Lance Armstrong, before his self-inflicted humiliation. Perhaps after too.
- Being stunning beautiful in both situation and architecture.
I can attest to all three. We caught an early train to go about 100km out of town.
You can read a little more about the place in Barcelona in Black and White elsewhere on this good blog.
It’s Catalonian National Day, so the streets are decorated with yellow and red, which explains this at the breakfast buffet.
