Wet in Girona - Day 38

As the wind and rain  closed all outdoor cafes we set out from Llafranc on a short drive to Girona. James sent us to the wrong square to obtain a parking space, so not knowing where we were, I decided to head to our hotel and at least obtain a map. Thankfully the hotel came to our assistance by not only providing a map, but also early access to our room and an umbrella for a walk around town.
The rain did not let up, but we determined to at least see some of the old town. Disappointing that the weather was so bad because it is a very atmospheric and attractive place to look around. Lots of cobbled streets, terraced houses, fantastic shops, tapas bars and restaurants. We stopped in "Artusi" for a great 3 course menu lunch that included a main of salmon and also water and wine for 14 euro.
Walked again until thoroughly soaked then slogged back up the hill to our hotel to dry out. Think dinner in house tonight unless the rain stops.
