- Girona Spain. An incredible medieval city preserved in time. This city is literally like stepping back in time. Cobblestone streets, city walls and the best preserved Jewish quarter in Europe.
In this episode we meet up with a local guide for a walking tour of the city where he shows us all of the Game of Thrones filming locations. We finish off by walking the city walls.

I have never actually considered visiting Girona, but already from the first bits of B-Roll, it looks gorgeous!!! It looks like Game of Thrones filmed a lot in Spain! It literally does look like you've stepped back in time! Great information about the history!! Great vlog 😊
Thanks Millie 😊
It was an awesome city. A nice escape from Barcelona.
Are you are GoT fan?
No I have never actually watched it!😆
@@MillieMoments well we don't feel as bad now 🤣🤣
Congrats for your passion doing these reactions
Haha we can try right...
Great VLOG guys (as usual) always a good idea to get a local to show you the city which looks amazing. Cant wait for you to reach Barcelona!
Thanks Hartley! We definitely think getting a guide is the way to go. We would have walked around aimlessly otherwise haha
Nice video, you should have included Figueras which is nearby. Why visit Figueras? The Dali museum (he was a local) absolutely incredible!
Wow looks super interesting!
Great video - what a quaint city
Thanks Erik 😊
Wow, it's a very nice video and an interesting history. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. We are happy you enjoyed it 😊👍
I’m check-in after 7months any Luck with GOT?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Still haven't watched it!!!
Entre los ejércitos el de Napoleón, que asedió la ciudad durante meses.
Napoleon's empire was huge, wasn't it? We learned a lot about the battles against him in Spain.
You've had your leg pulled. Jews could leave their quarter as long as they wore distinctive clothes. It was locked down at night and usually all day on Good Friday.
Good saying! Leg pulled 🤣 our parents always used that saying too.
We are just going of what the guide said. I guess everything you hear you have to take with a grain of salt
In the 15th C it was decreed that the Jews were not allowed to live outside the Jewish quarter. They had a badge sewn onto their clothes if they wanted to leave the area. There were many murders and massacres of Jewish people in their own community but at least in that area they had the protection of the king. I think the guide was being ‘theatrical’ & not trying to pull anyones leg. He maybe should have said that if they left they would be putting their lives at risk.
Girona is very popular for professional cyclists
It is. They do all of their training camps there
🇪🇸❌🇪🇸
Thanks :)
