Barcelona Side Trips
 

Business may bring me to Barcelona in early May, which would mean that I may have 2-3 days for sightseeing (yippee!). <BR> <BR>I'd like to do at least one foray outside of the city and am considering either Girona or Monserrat. For those of you who have visited, if I have to choose one, which would you vote for? Are there any other places I should consider? (not keen on either Dali or beaches!). <BR> <BR>Also, any recommendations for lunch in either place would be nice. <BR> <BR>Many thanks for your help. .... Ger

Seu d'Urgell, Gerry... <BR>

Montserrat, Ger. Seu is too far. Save Cerdanya for when you have more time and Girona when you can do more of the Emporda. <BR>I just tried to email you a list of dining suggestions (like the Madrid one) for Barcelona but couldn't connect. If you'll send me another quick email, I'll try again. Thanks <BR>Maribel

Thank you all for your help. <BR> <BR>X ... certainly worth knowing, I'll be vigilent ...appreciate your concern. <BR> <BR>Maribel, I received your restaurant recommendations - you're a star. <BR> <BR>I'll keep you posted on the plans. <BR> <BR>Regards ...... Ger <BR> <BR>

Gerona is not far and worth a day. We stayed there 3 days. Beautiful little town with a lot of history.
