Route and locations of Game of Thrones in Girona.

In the first episode of the sixth season, we can see Arya Stark begging and wandering blind through the streets of Braavos. One of the scenes was filmed in front of the gardens behind the Cathedral, specifically in Bishop Josep Cartañà Street.

The scene that takes place on the steps of this street, is possibly the most recreated by tourists who follow the route of Game of Thrones in Girona. Many visitors to the city sit on the corner of the first step, pretending to be Arya begging for alms in the streets of Braavos.

In the seventh episode of Games of Thrones, Arya Stark strolls through the market of Braavos looking for passage to be able to leave the city. This market was set in the Archaeological Walk of Girona, and the Rei Ferran el Catòlic Street, just in front of the entrance to the Arabian Baths.

The street named after Rei Ferran el Catòlic is a must if you visit the city, and is located in the old town, running from the majestic and beautiful Archaeological Walk to the Cathedral Square. Along its short route is the Church of Sant Lluc.

At one point in the persecution to which Arya is subjected, she ends up entering the Braavos Baths (Arab Baths of Gerona), a work of the municipality of Gerona declared a cultural asset of national interest. These are located in a late Romanesque style building built in 1194, imitating the structure of the North African Muslim baths.

As a result of the siege of 1285 they were demolished, so that in 1294 Jaime II donated them to Ramón de Toila who rebuilt them. Probably in the 16th century they ceased to function, and in 1618 they were acquired by the Capuchin nuns to install their convent. In 1929, its restoration began, with the intervention of the architects Rafael Masó and Emili Blanch.

Arya contemplates a huge sculpture located at the entrance to the port of Braavos before being stabbed by a forlorn girl with an old woman’s face.

Season six, episode five, features Plaça dels Jurats , turned into the scene of a play about the life of the Lannister family. Curiously enough, in real life, this square also hosts shows.

Located in the Old Quarter, the Plaça dels Jurats is a mediaeval style open space delimited by the stairs that lead to the Archaeological Walk, the wall and buttresses that support one of the terraces of the same walk, the School of Modern Music building, a stone building with a porch formed by two large arcades and the Galligants River, almost always dry, which separates the square from the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants.

Many streets of the old town of Girona appear when Arya is fleeing to save her life.

Girona bids farewell to Game of Thrones inside the monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants, where the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia is located. In fiction it represents the entrance to the Library of Oldtown, the centre of knowledge of the great masters of Ponent where Sam will be able to become a master. The beautiful cloister of Sant Pere de Galligants also makes its peculiar appearance in Game of Thrones as the King’s Landing Cloister.

The monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants, of which only the church and the cloister remain visible, is one of the most remarkable of the Catalan Romanesque. Almost nothing remains of the pre-Romanesque monastery, although the remains of an earlier building are preserved. The construction of the present building began during the first half of the 12th century, around 1131, when Ramon Berenguer the Great bequeathed a large donation to pay for the work.

It is an exclusive blood orange and mango ice cream from Rocambolesc (the most relevant ice cream shop in Gerona) created by Jordi Roca (El Celler de Can Roca). Unfortunately we can no longer enjoy this delicious ice cream, as it was a limited edition.
