GERONA'S CITY

Gerona is a town located in the Spain autonomy community.

Gerona isn’t big, but it’s full of history and important monuments. Gerona is older than Barcelona. The most characteristic monument of Gerona is “The lion”. A typical sentence about “The lion” is: “If you go to Gerona and you kiss the lion, you will return to Gerona”. The monument that I like is The Cathedral for its bigger stairs and for its sculptures.

The weather in Gerona is very wet, but in Gerona the weather isn’t as windy as in the coast. Although the weather is bad in Gerona, it  preserves its charm. The people of this city doesn’t have special adjective.
