We arrived into Girona late and, as a result, we caught our first glimpse of the city in the morning. For this trip, Girona served as a hub for our main destinations: Barcelona and Roses.
We caught a train to Barcelona and spent most of our time exploring the city on foot:
We visited the market, of course:
We walked along the water:
And, we saw the torch that was used to officially start the 1992 Olympic Summer Games:
We took another train to a pretty little resort town, Roses, on the Costa Brava coast.
We spent one day hiking from Roses to Cadaqués along the beautiful rugged coastline. We stopped for breaks on the sandy beaches along the way. However, it was a long trek (7 hours) in the blazing sun and both of us were unwell due to a bout of food poisoning.

Great pictures! It's too bad about the food poisoning though. A lot of people tell me that Barcelona reminds them of Paris. Did you get a Paris-ish vibe? I've got to take the train and head over there one of these days.
Looks amazing. I like the sailboats in the harbour and especially like the two photos of little coves along your hike. But a seven hour hike with food poisoning?!? Bad enough any time but during a long hike, that's brutal.
