<p>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 <a href="https://www.beachtravelwine.com/podcast/121/girona" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.beachtravelwine.com/podcast/121/girona</a> And if you look at the picture of the red bridge – you will instantly know who built it.</p> <p><br /></p>
