Corpus Christi in Girona


Today I went to the Dalí Museum of Figueres and Girona with the Parra family from Texas. After lunch, we starting our discovery of Girona and found the Old Town covered in flower carpets. That's how Corpus Christi is celebrated in some Catalan towns!
While in Barcelona we have the famous Dancing Egg (I've already talked about it other years) in the Old Town, Sitges and Girona still keep the old tradition of arranging beautiful flower designs along the streets. I must recognize it was the first time I was out of town for this festivity, so I was very excited to see it!

In this picture you can see the one we saw at the foot of the Barroque staircase leading to the Cathedral.
