Thoroughly enjoyed our food tour in Girona. We were a little late in arriving due to an issue with our train (our fault). However Paula had been in contact and was waiting for us. We then had a lovely leisurely walk in the sunshine around the food sellers, and the local market. Food and wine were lovely, and it was great way to see part of the city. We then headed off uphill to view the city from the old basilica area.

We had a lovely tour around central Girona with our guide who knows everything about the city and its history. This tour is perfect for those of you who don't have several days in Girona, but still want to see them all. There are tickets and fast track access to the basilica, the cathedral and the Arab baths, so you avoid the queue. There is plenty of time along the way for questions and competent answers.
