Girona: I love you....I miss you.

I lived in Girona for 10 years and many important things happened to me during this decade: I started teaching English, I got married, my children were born there and I met my best life-time friends... I became a full grown -up, an adult woman in this small,beautifull city in the North-East of Catalonia. People say that it is as difficult to love Girona when you first go to live there as it is to forget about it when you leave it. It is absolutelly true. There are places you fall in love at first sight, places you always want to go back to.... Can you tell me what is this place for you? What is it like? What does it smell of? Give me a picture in words of this place.
