We begin this fantastic walk from Plaça Sant Feliu, our starting point at the indicated time.
First, we will enter the old town to visit the monastery of San Pedro de Galligans , an ancient Benedictine abbey that is a jewel of Catalan Romanesque architecture . We will cross the Galligans River to discover the Arab Baths , the prelude to the Archaeological Walk , where we will find beautiful terraced gardens that extend over the Carolingian wall .
We will continue to the Gironella Tower , where we will access the upper part of the murals. Once again, we will travel for a while and enjoy privileged views of the city .
To continue we will look at the mural and we will look at the German Barracks and the French Gardens , where the Charlemagne Tower is located, the only one that stood at the foot of the Girona Cathedral when it was Romanesque.
In addition, the free tour will take us to the convent of Sant Domenec and the Las Águilas building , which was the first headquarters of the University of Girona . To finish, we will go down the Pujada de Sant Domenec to reach the Plaça de l'Oli and the Rambla de la Llibertat , the heart of the old city where we will end our tour.
Two hours of fun and curiosities about Game of Thrones walking through one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Spain. All the locations of the sixth season are located between the monumental city and the Jewish quarter (Call), which barely needed characterization to become a land of other times and other worlds.

My tour takes you through the Historic Center of Girona. On our journey through the medieval streets you will step back in time.
Discover the history of the ancient sites and through stories of old, meet characters of myth and legend.
Some of the historic sites were used as filming locations for the Game of Thrones series.
This is an 'Easy Walking Tour', however many of the streets in the old town are cobbled and there are lots of steps.The old town is very compact and covers a small area, so we have time to visit many of the important sites, walking at a relaxed pace and stopping to take photo's and enjoy the festive atmosphere of the City.
We will not go into any of the buildings. Entry to the Cathedral, Arabic baths and museums is ticketed, so you may wish to return to those places to visit the interiors.
The duration of my tour is approximately 2 hours. Some of the places we will visit are: The Lioness of Girona • The Basilica of Sant Feliu • The Arabic Baths • The Cathedral • The Jewish Quarter • Medieval Streets of The Old Town • The Eiffel Bridge.
The tour ends in a beautiful square where you will find cafés and restaurants.

Girona is a city full of legends. Throughout its history, countless events have been collected, which have given rise to curious anecdotes and stories. Did you know that the Sant Feliu area hides a dark past? Prostitution, crimes and drug addiction are some of the events that marked an era in the neighborhood.
We will discover some secret sculptures and their meaning, hidden maps, the smallest square in Europe ... Through narrow alleys we will enter the Jewish Quarter , which hides some secrets underground , and we will talk about the imposing Cathedral , full of unknowns and mysteries.
Little by little we will climb to the highest part of Barri Vell, with beautiful views. We will cross the wall and arrive at the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants and walk through the Chinatown. Why was it called that? What happened? What do we find, there, today?
We will answer these and many more questions until we reach the final point of the tour: a strange statue with the figure of a Lioness. Without a doubt, the best-known legend of Girona and one of the symbols of the city.
