Although many travelers love to relax in their villa with private pool in Spain<\/u><\/a>, others are looking for a vacation in Spain<\/u><\/a> that\u2019s a little more active. The good news is that Catalonia offers the best of both worlds, with great places to relax, and a number of lively activities to really get the heart pumping. One of the best things to do if you\u2019re an activity lover is to walk the old Roman walls of Girona.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Passeig de la Muralla<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pathway created by the Roman walls is known as \u2018Passeig de la Muralla\u2019, and experts believe that some sections of the wall date as far back as the first century! However, many portions of the wall are actually much newer and were restored following intentional destruction, which enabled the city of Girona to expand. There are a number of entry and exit points along the path, but taking in the entire 3-kilometer wall is recommended. (You can rest your legs at your villa in Spain<\/u><\/a> at the end of the day!)<\/p>\n

One of the best advantages of walking the Roman walls of Girona is that you can see the entire town \u2014 and even further afield \u2014 from the spectacular vantage points. The iconic cathedral is one of the most prominent sights from the walls, and in the distance you can see the snow capped peaks of the Pyrenees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visiting Girona<\/strong><\/p>\n

Girona is located about a 1.5-hour drive from Barcelona, so while it\u2019s a trip that can be done in a day from your Barcelona villa<\/u><\/a>, you may want to allow for a little more time to explore, especially if you plan on walking the Roman walls. Fortunately, there are some great Spain vacation rentals<\/u><\/a> in this part of Catalonia, so why not extend your stay and stop for a night in this beautiful and historic city?<\/p>\n
