Girona Day Trip





The Class recently took a day trip through Catalonia to visit Girona and Olat.
Girona was a compact little city with some nice examples of Romanesque architecture.
We originally meant to visit Figueres to see the Dali museum, but the king of Spain decided to visit that day so we had to change our plans. Instead, we went to Olat where we visited the architecture firm RCR. We were able to tour a restaurant, hotel, and park that they designed. Their buildings were interesting because of their thoughtful detailing and the blurred lines between interior and exterior.
