Girona, Catalunya, Spain - 17th September 2006

The first stop-off on a week away is on the way up to Roussillon, where Nosher and Isobel decide to have a quick scope around the town of Girona, just to see what's there. As it turned out, it was a really nice town (which we re-visit at the end of the week) and which probably only about 1% of the hordes that fly in to Girona Airport on their way to the Costa Brava ever find their way to.
