Dragon Boat Festival Trip Abroad~ Girona's Historic District

Known as the "City of Four Rivers," Girona's historic district is characterized by medieval architecture and Roman, Arabic, and Hebrew styles. Located within the walls of Força Vella, this area showcases masterpieces of its historical development. Positioned in a prime location between the Pyrenees and the Costa Brava, it offers various excursions, including visits to towns and notable natural areas. All these places provide visitors with opportunities to savor local cuisine, which blends seafood and mountain products in its recipes. The city of Girona is situated in the Ter Valley, where four rivers converge. The Onyar Valley is one of these, separating the historic center from the modern city. The old center of this Catalonian city preserves traces of its long history since its establishment by the Romans in the 1st century BC. It was thanks to them that the original city walls were built, with remnants stretching from the Archaeological Walk to the Wall Gardens.
