Looking at Apartments



We are thinking of moving to a different apartment here in Girona so we have been looking. There are many available, but not so many that meet all our criteria for space, light, view, etc. Two days ago we came upon one that is really intriguing. It is in the old quarter but just across the river from our current place. You can see the ancient stone bridge out the balcony window. What we found intriguing is that there is an stone wall in the back bedroom and when we walked out of the apartment, instead of taking the new, modern elevator, we walked down and encountered remains of a 13th century chapel that was once a part of a Franciscan Convent that has been gone for centuries. There is a sign on the wall telling all about this place. I took two quick pictures with my iPhone to give you some idea of the place. What a find! We may move there just to be in the lovely, sweet energy of those ancient Franciscan nuns. The place is really sweet, the remodeling is first rate, and Elyn might have her work space in a room with a wall from the convent.
