Banyoles, a guided Tour through the Old Town, Catalonia - Spain 4K Travel Channel
Banyoles is always worth a visit. The reason for this is not only the lake, but also because of the wonderful old town from the 14th century and the surroundings. The Catalan city of Banyoles is the capital of the district of Pla de l'Estany in the province of Girona. From here you can reach Girona or the beaches of the Costa Brava in just 25 minutes. Up to the mountains you only need 50 minutes. East of Banyoles is the Nature Park Volcanic Zone of Garrotxa (Parc Natural de la Zona volcanica de la Garrotxa).
Banyoles is the ideal location for holidaymakers who are looking for diversity.
In 711, the Moors conquered the area from the Visigoths and many of the residents were forced to flee. 25 years later the country was reconquered and divided into several counties under the rule of the King of the Franks. The counties became increasingly more powerful and independent, especially Barcelona. In 812, the King of the Franks, Louis the Pious, gave the area, where today's city of Banyoles was founded, to the Benedictines under Abbot Bonitus (Bonito) and granted immunity. In 822, after the experience with the Moors, the Sant Esteve Monastery was built as a fort.
The residents who have fled came back and settled around the monastery. They had to pay taxes and in return they received protection from the nobles and spiritual support by the clergy. In the 9th century they built a church, which was destroyed by an earthquake.
Over the centuries, Banyoles was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, and so today we find a mixture of styles, the products of the different construction periods.
Already the 9th century, the Benedictine monks of the cloister started with the construction of channels to the water supply. Today, the network of channels has a total length of 33 kilometers. A large part has been laid underground in the 20th century.
Banyoles experiences a new boom with the 1992 Olympics. According to a study of the University of Oviedo from 2011, Banyoles is the best city to live in Catalonia. In overall Spain, Banyoles ranks place seven. In this study, aspects such as cost of living, social services, housing, transport, environment, employment, health, culture, leisure, education and security were taken into account.

Banyoles ist nicht nur wegen des Sees, sondern auch wegen der wunderbaren Altstadt aus dem 14. Jahrhundert einen Besuch wert.
Die katalanische Stadt Banyoles ist die Hauptstadt des Kreises Pla de l’Estany in der Provinz Girona. In nur 25 Minuten erreicht man von hier aus in Girona oder die Strände der Costa Brava. Bis zu den Bergen sind es nur 50 Minuten. Östlich von Banyoles liegt der Naturschutzpark Vulkane der Garrotxa (Parc Natural de la Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa).
Banyoles ist der ideale Ausgangspunkt für Urlauber, die die Vielfalt suchen.
Im Jahre 711 eroberten die Mauren das Gebiet von den Westgoten und viele der Bewohner mussten fliehen. 25 Jahre später wurde das Land zurückerobert und in mehrere Grafschaften aufgeteilt, die dem Frankenkönig unterstanden. Diese wurden zunehmend mächtiger und unabhängiger, vor allem Barcelona. Im Jahre 812 überschrieb der Frankenkönig Ludwig der Fromme den Benediktinern unter Abt Bonitus (Bonito) das Gebiet auf dem die heutige Stadt Banyoles steht und gewährte ihnen gleichzeitig Immunität. Nach der Erfahrung mit den Mauren wurde im Jahre 822 das Kloster Sant Esteve de Banyoles wie ein Fort gebaut.
Die geflüchteten Bewohner kamen zurück und siedelten sich um das Kloster an. Sie mussten Steuern zahlen und erhielten im Gegenzug von den Adeligen Schutz und vom Klerus geistlichen Beistand. Im 9ten Jahrhundert erbaute man eine Kirche, die aber durch ein Erdbeben zerstört wurde.
Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte wurde Banyoles mehrfach zerstört und wieder aufgebaut und so findet man heute eine Mischung aus verschiedenen Stilen, die Produkte der verschiedenen Bauzeiten.
Im 9ten Jahrhundert begannen die Benediktinermönche des Klosters bereits mit dem Bau von Kanälen zur Wasserversorgung. Heute ist das Netzwerk von Kanälen 33 Kilometer lang und wurde im 20ten Jahrhundert größtenteils in den Untergrund verlegt.
Seit der Olympiade 1992 erlebt Banyoles eine neue Blüte. Laut einer Studie der Universität von Oviedo aus dem Jahr 2011 ist Banyoles die Stadt in Katalonien, wo man am besten leben kann. Spanien weit rangiert Banyoles an siebenter Stelle. In dieser Studie wurden Aspekte wie Lebenshaltungskosten, soziale Dienste, Wohnen, Verkehr, Umwelt, Arbeitsmarkt, Gesundheit, Kultur, Freizeit, Bildung und Sicherheit berücksichtigt.

Spain's Best Village - Besalú
I spent some time driving the beautiful roads of the Pyrenees through Catalonia, looking for the perfect medieval village I'd seen in my imagination. There were several I found, but this one really stood out as one of Europe's best kept secrets - Besalú, about an hour and a half from Barcelona.

Girona Spain - Must Visit Attractions & Best Things To Do
Girona, located in Catalonia, Spain, sits between Barcelona and Costa Brava. It’s a gorgeous place to visit, with medieval walls, narrow winding city streets, and one of the best preserved Jewish Quarters in Europe.
All you need is one day to see the best of Girona, making it a great destination on even the quickest itineraries through Spain. Here are 9 great things to do in Girona…9 reasons why you should visit Girona, Spain.
#Girona #GironaSpain #GironaEspaña
#1 THE JEWISH QUARTER
The Jewish Quarter in Girona is one of the best preserved in the world. From 982 to 1492, Jews lived in Girona. The area where they lived, called El Call, is a maze of narrow, winding, cobblestoned lanes, still intact and very much like they were over 500 years ago. These narrow streets are a joy to explore. For those who want to learn more, visit the Jewish Museum in town.
Getting Here: The Jewish Quarter is located in the heart of Girona, off of Carrer de la Força.
#2 FOR THE BEST VIEWS, WALK ON THE MEDIEVAL WALLS
Also called the Passeig de la Muralla, a walk on the medieval walls is a must-do activity while in Girona. The city walls span the eastern border of the old town of Girona. From the top of the walls, the views over the city are spectacular. Towers periodically interrupt the walls for even better views.
#3 WALK ACROSS EIFFEL BRIDGE
Gustav Eiffel constructed a bridge in Girona just before the Eiffel Tower was built. Also called the Pont de les Peixateries Velles, this bridge spans the Onyar River and is the most famous in Girona.
#4 ONYAR RIVER VIEW
The Onyar River runs through the heart of Girona. See it from Pont Pedra, Eiffel Bridge, or one of several other bridges that span the river.
#5 WALK UP THE STEPS OF THE GIRONA CATHEDRAL
One of the highlights of a visit to Girona is a visit to the Girona Cathedral. The Girona Cathedral dominates the skyline of Girona. Perched on top of a hill, the only way into the cathedral is to climb the long staircase to the entrance. It’s a scenic spot and a popular gathering point for visitors to the city.
Are you a Game of Thrones fan? This cathedral was used in the filming of Season 6! Do you recognize it? If you do not, shame…shame…shame…
#6 GIRONA IS A HOT SPOT FOR GAME OF THRONES FANS
OK, so this came as a total surprise to Tim and I. Prior to our visit, I had read that the Girona Cathedral was used in Season 6 of Game of Thrones. As we were sitting in front of the cathedral, I did a little more research, learning that Girona was a major filming location for Game of Thrones. Girona is Braavos in Season 6. With the narrow, twisting lanes in the Jewish Quarter and the Girona Cathedral, this city makes the perfect backdrop for Game of Thrones.
If you are a Game of Thrones fan, Girona is worth a visit. Many of the filming sites here were used with very little computer generated imagery, so these places appear almost like they do in the show.
#7 WANDER THE CITY STREETS
There’s more to Girona than medieval walls, narrow streets, and filming sites…the city itself outside of the main tourist quarter is a joy to stroll through. Browse small shops, have coffee in a cafe, or just wander the city.
#8 PLAÇA INDEPENDENCIA
Plaça Independencia is a lovely square located just west of the Onyar River. If you are in the need of a break, stop here for coffee or wine and do a little people watching.
#9 GIRONA IS THE PERFECT DAY TRIP FROM BARCELONA
Girona is 100 km from Barcelona. It may sound far but the two cities are connected by a high speed train. If you are staying in Barcelona, in just 38 minutes you can be standing in Girona.
Take the train in the morning, spend the day in Girona, arriving back in Barcelona in time for dinner at 8 pm. Yes, Barcelonans eat dinner between 7 and 10 pm…it took us a little bit to get used to this schedule. The trick is to take that midday siesta…which may be a little difficult while in Girona…but that’s what the coffee break in Plaça Independencia is for!
Taking the Train: Barcelona and Girona are connected with the new high speed AVE trains and the TGV trains that continue on to Paris. In Barcelona, you can purchase your tickets at the Estacio Sants Train and Bus Station. Trains leave approximately every 45 minutes. We purchased our tickets the morning of our trip out to Girona and there were still vacant seats.

Girona Province - More than just the Costa Brava
The province of Girona is situated in the autonomous community of Catalonia, and is divided into the three areas: The Costa Brava (coastal region), the inland region, and the mountainous area of the Girona Pyrenees.
The diversity of the Girona Province is immense; the breathtaking region of the Pyrenees with its snowy mountains, ancient villages and beautiful emerald valleys and the Mediterranean Costa Brava, with its beaches and coves of crystal clear waters, with their pine clad hillside backdrop. Finally the inland countryside, rich with crops, sunflowers and woodland areas; with charming villages, and of course the historical capital of the province, Girona itself.
The Costa Brava is one of the most visited destinations in Spain, but it is just one of the many jewels that you can explore in the province of Girona. Come and discover all of Girona's treasures!
For more info on the Costa Brava:
Lake of Banyoles
Nestled in the Pla de l'Estany comarca in the northeastern part of Catalonia, Spain, you'll find the enchanting Lake of Banyoles. This natural wonder takes its name from the neighboring town of Banyoles, located in the Province of Girona, to which it is wholly linked. The lake is not only a breathtaking natural attraction, but it also holds a rich history and diverse ecosystem. Known for its unique geological formation, it's one of the largest natural lakes in Catalonia and serves as a hub for various recreational activities, including rowing, canoeing, and fishing. Its serene environment and the charming town nearby make it a must-visit destination for tourists seeking tranquility and natural beauty.

Nice place to do outdoor activities
EL LAGO DE BANYOLES | Girona, Catalunya
El lago de Banyoles. Un extenso lago yace en medio de la llanura que da nombre a la comarca. Se trata en realidad de un conjunto lacustre, pues pequeños estanques salpican los alrededores del mayor. Las aves acuáticas encuentran aquí su paraíso particular, así como la gran diversidad de flora característica de lugares húmedos. Junto al gran lago, plataformas de madera nos permiten adentrarnos unos metros sobre las aguas, y senderos bajo los árboles lo rodean.
El núcleo de población conserva un casco histórico de interés nacional, con calles angostas entre edificios góticos y su Plaza Mayor porticada, entre otros grandes atractivos como el Museo Arqueológico y el Museo Darder, o el monasterio de Sant Esteve.
