Joan & his wife are very good hosts and made me very welcome. Their home is pretty, is spotlessly clean, and comfortable. Their home has a lovely woman's touch! Joan is rapidly improving his English. Their apartment is near the train station; about 15 minutes walk from Plaza Catalunya (the river) and 30 minutes walk to the Cathedral - and all the wonderful medieval walking streets, outdoor cafes, shopping, and people watching. I really enjoyed my short visit in Gerona! (If you arrive by car - as I did - rather than train or bus, parking can be a problem; as in most cities in Spain.)
