Photos of the Day
when there was one
Images of Catalonia
- Gaudi's Dragon Gate oddly forlorn, given the history of the place.
- Beer and Housing Don't Mix. This place actually exists.
- Amics de Gegants or friends of the giants, the parade on Sunday, 1 novembre, the last day of the Sant Narcis Festa here in Girona.
- City of the Dead up the Onyar maybe a kilometer east of the Pont Font del Rei. The street wall was designed by Rafael Masó and it's current renovation is almost complete.
- Details a
collection of architectural details seen in Girona. This page is updated more than most
- 911 Photos
from Once de Setembre, the Catalan national day
- Deco House and we are wondering what they will do.
- El Punt,
formerly la Farinera Teixador. Designed by Rafael Maso and constructed in
1909 as a flour mill with offices and house for the owners.
Now the offices of El Punt, one of the local Catalan newspapers.
Three blocks north of the central train station.
- Empuries is
the site of ancient Greek and Roman ruins near the seaside
town of L'Escala, barely 20 miles ENE of Girona.
- Figueres day trip. Looking for buildings in the Modernisme vein and avoiding Dali, though how one does that there is a good question.
- Flickr for odds and ends.
- Road
pics Some odds and ends seen on the highway.
- Cornella
de Terri a small village about ten miles north of Girona
- Sant Felix, the most charming of the religious landmarks.
- Walter Benjamin
Memorial in Port Bou at the French border. The vandalism
shown in a few of the photos I like to think is but a
result of teenage boredom and nothing more.
