Alfred's place is unbelievably beautiful. The top floor with its wall-to-wall windows that open up over the city's rooftops must be seen to be believed. It was like a lovely oasis to return to after traipsing through the town. The whole family was so helpful, from Monica who graciously switched over to French when it was clear that my Spanish wasn't up to the task :), to their son who not only brought our (heavy!) suitcases downstairs (note: there are a lot of stairs! but that's how you get the gorgeous view!), but also volunteered to drive us back to the train station! Very kind, and very appreciated. Hope I get back to Girona someday; I would be happy to stay here again.
