We stayed three nights in Girona using it as the base to visit sites associated with Salvador Dali which are all within an hour's drive.

Our satnav took us to an unlikley looking road junction but Alfredo quickly bounded down the hill to meet and guide us through the very narrow streets to a free car park near the flat. If you are travelling by car it might be an idea to seek Alfredo's advice on how to find this by an easier route.

The apt was exactly as described, bigger than we expected and well equipped. The location and view from the bedroom of the old town were wonderful.

Alfredo made us very welcome, showed us his art collection (my wife is keen on art) and recommended some local restaurants.
