Temps de Flors, Girona

Spring in the city of Girona means for a few days Temps de Flors (Flowers Time), an event that decorates the city, especially the old town, of elaborate floral ensembles of great beauty and merit. It is perhaps the best time to visit and see the capital of Ampurdan, because while these sets are exposed many historic buildings, that are traditionally closed to the public, open their doors to be visited. So, the Cathedral, churches, bridges, streets of the Jewish quarter (the Call), patios, etc.. are adorned by beautiful and fresh floral sets that will delight walkers and photographers. The event is held for a week in May and it is very important to check the official website for the exact date of the current year and to get a map of the places to visit.
