You must walk the medieval walls of Girona and the towers to see the best views of the city. You really shouldn’t miss this. And if you’re a photographer then all the more reason!

Walter Benjamin Memorial

Reviewed By susanf302 - Wheaton, United States

Right on the border between Spain and France is an unassuming yet moving memorial to the heartbreak of exile. We read it, walked it - you walk down steps to a glass wall that gives you a view of what "flee-ers" would have seen and then visited the cemetery - wide open to all - nearby.

La Cala S'Alguer

Reviewed By AlbertSalichs - Manresa, Spain

La Cala s'Alguer is a little and tiny beach located in the surroundings of Palamós, a city in Costa Brava Region, in the North of Catalonia. It is located in the coastal path around this beautiful region and probably it is located in the most beautiful pathway in this region. Really, walking around these places is very nice and seeing this tiny beach is incredible: some little fisher houses only less than 5 meters far from the sea. Having a house here would be incredible! heard the sound of sea and the wind in winter days is a magic moment. Salut i cuideu-vos! (See also La Fosca Beach, Platja de Castell and Chemin de Ronde)

Castell de Farners

Reviewed By Tribal_Tree - Nuneaton, United Kingdom

The walk up to this castle, whilst beautiful, is not a quick or an easy one. That said, this castle and nearby hermitage are beautifully preserved. The castle is wonderfully preserved and it is still possible to climb up the tower and take in the spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

Picture postcard village now more famous for its eating establishments than anything else, which spoil you for choice. The locals have picked up on this as there is no longer any free parking available.

Pujada de Sant Domenec

Reviewed By chait1788 - Cambridge, Canada

The Sant-Domenec steps are amazing location to get a chance to view. Beautiful spot to take photos and gives you a taste of the old town charm everyone visiting europe is looking for. If you can come here during the evening, the steps would probably look even more beautiful.
