28a Barcelona - First day - Girona

I have decided that when I get back home I am going to have sit and watch
Game of Thrones from start to finish. It seems that nearly every country
that we have visited in Europe has at some point been a location where a
scene from GOT has been shot. Todays village was Girona otherwise known as
Braavos, Oldtown and Kings Landing.
Here is a guide to a GOT Tour of Girona

And sure enough we did visit several of these places. Girona sits on the
Onyar river and at that time of the day the reflections from the colourful
houses of the old city were just spectacular.
Once crossing the bridge and entering the town you will see a Lioness up a
pole. There are a few steps just below to help you reach her. Why you ask?
.. well to "Kiss her Arse" yes, a peck on her butt will ensure that you will
return. a bit of a twist to the old "throw a coin in the fountain".
Churches, cathedrals, laneways and steps that seem to go on forever, all
have that familiar GOT theme to them.
