The Rain in Spain ...

,,, fell in Girona!

We went to the annual Flower Festival in Girona, Catalunya again and, as you can see it rained some of the time ... and it was cold!!!  However, that didn't put off all the pensioners in North Spain or Southern France, there were lots of coach trippers on Sunday and lots of school parties on the Monday.
To begin with we were disappointed with the displays.  The main one on the steps of the cathedral was very poor.

It was mainly apricot roses which just did not show up.

Over the next couple of days we explored more, and even found parts of Girona which we hadn't seen on our previous visit and found some really spectacular displays.

There were also a number of wacky ones!

To complete our Spanish excursion we managed to fit in a shopping visit to 'our' wine emporium to stock up on one of our favorite wines, and we also checked out the birds at the Nature Reserve at St Pere Pescadore.

There were still a few Storks nesting.
