Girona
Just a note to say that, after 4 trains and a lot of schlepping with a 50+ pound bag on my back, I made it succesfully to Girona last night from Lisbon. The hostel is nice and clean, and I´m touring the old city today (brutally hot as always, but not as bad as Lisbon or Madrid). I´ll post details perhaps tonight or tomorrow.
Random note: it´s not as though I don´t appreciate the smooth rides or the ease of construction that pavement provides, but it´s really nice having cobblestone streets and sidewalks. Not only do they conform to the ground well, but the patterns that can be made everywhere using different color stones is quite pleasing.
