Introduction
Look eastwards from General Peralta tower for a good view of the nummulite rock formations in one of the many quarries of the area, source of the stone used for the buildings in the historic city centre.
Then cast your gaze from north to south to take in the contrast between old, monumental Girona and the more modern urban districts beyond. The old buildings (the walled enclosure, churches such as Sant Feliu, the Cathedral with its wide flight of steps, and most of the surrounding buildings) are striking for the greyish-ochre shades of the Girona stone used in their construction.
From this point onwards, descend from the city wall to continue along the walk that follows the walls or you can choose to continue by the alternative route, following the city wall to Gironella tower.
