La Bisbol d'Emporda, Girona & Pals "oh my"

We both woke up early, the sun was rising so we took some photo's, and then went back to bed until about 10:00 am....it is vacation!


After our "included" European breakfast - 3 pieces of toast, 2 pieces of bread that had been toast with oil oil and the essence of tomatoes, plus about 5 different croissants, along with OJ, cut fruit, plain yogurt and a plate with prosciutto, salami, ham, etc. coffee.  At breakfast we saw that it was supposed to rain so we decided that rather then walk the Costa Brava coastal walking trail, we'd drive to La Bisbal d'Emporda, then to Girona and finish at Pals.  Now I have to admit I had hoped La Bisbal d'Emporda may have had something to do with baseball......I was just dreaming....nice town known for their Ceramic....we did purchase a few small items.

From La Bisbol we drove to Girona, what a wonderful city with a old Jewish quarter  along with Arab Baths, churches, it was very nice.  We spent the afternoon, including lunch (which I had paella). More of my photo's





On our way back to the Hotel El Far we went by Pals, so far our favorite small medieval.  I love the vending machine inside the church to purchase candles



Check out the old style "street light"  it's stacked wood in a metal frame.  A full day but another great day....one last image.....
