What to visit in Catalonia: Besalu Medieval Town and Bridge

A bridge with a lot of history, with several reconstructions and an uncertain origin, back in the XI century, Besalu bridge is definitely a great representative of the beauty of medieval towns and their architecture in general.

The town of Besalu, 31 kms away from Girona, is a must see if you ever decide to visit the countryside in Catalonia, which is not only Barcelona of course. There are many incredible spots to admire, and this medieval village should be in your top ten list.

Woman Covered With Flowers at Barcelona Cathedral

With this woman literally covered with flowers near Barcelona Cathedral I start my holidays 2017. Let the coming month of August be happy and amusing to many, to those fortunate enough to have some rest from the monotony of a day job. To those who don't, let these days be joyous too. This summer is being terribly hot in Barcelona so I hope this lady gets compensated somehow for her tremendous effort under the sun.

PS: I am trying to revamp the blog. It is taking more time than I thought. A great amount of pictures were hosted in Photobucket.com, a company whose malpractice has ruined the work of many bloggers who trusted them, including myself. I will never choose Photobucket again, you have my word on that!
