Girona, Arab Baths and Castle, Catalonia - Spain 4K Travel Channel
We are accompanied by our knowledgeable and friendly guide Gloria Lomas. She has arranged an exceptional program for us.
The tour's motto: Discover the capital of the Costa Brava.
The route goes along a Orienteering Circuits, which can be found at the 10 different points in the city. These are arranged in such a way that one obtains the best possible overview of the city. With each of these points a myth or a legend of the city is connected. Myths and legends there are many in Girona. Presumably, this is due to the medieval cityscape and the related medieval religion and belief.
The tour leads us to the
- Arab Baths and castle
- Cathedral
-Jewish Quarter and the modern city
Girona is approx. 90 km north east of Barcelona and got presumably founded by the Iberians, a neolithic Celtic or also North African tribe which lived here in the 6 century BC. Later came the Celts, Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians and the Romans, who built a fort. After the end of Roman Age it was ruled by the Visigoths and later by the Moors. When Charlemagne had incorporated the town into his empire, Hischam I, the Emir of Cordoba destroyed Girona. Only with Wilfred the Hairy, who had been appointed by the Carolingian, Girona was annexed to Catalonia.
On our arrival in Girona the weather is still a little cheerless so that we can enjoy the view of the bridges of the Onyar in the famous cityscape with its colorful facades only partially.
In former times Girona was decried as dirty city, which was partly due to the paper industry, as well as the fact that the houses on the river had external toilets. Only after the death of General Franco, under the new mayor, who was a historian, a sewage system was created and the toilets were installed inside the buildings. The facades were given new coats of fresh colors. Previously known as Girona The Gray the city now was nicknamed Girona the Caramel.

Gloria Lomas, unsere kompetente und freundliche Führerin, begleitet uns den Tag und hat ein außergewöhnliches Programm für uns zusammengestellt. Die Tour steht unter dem Motto: Entdecke die Hauptstadt der Costa Brava. Die Route führt entlang eines Orienteering Circuits, bei dem 10 verschiedene Punkte in der Stadt zu finden sind. Diese sind so angeordnet, dass man dabei den bestmöglichen Überblick über die Stadt erhält. Mit jedem dieser Punkte ist ein Mythos oder eine Legende rund um die Stadt verbunden.
Mythen und Legenden gibt es in Girona viele. Vermutlich ist dies mit dem mittelalterlichen Stadtbild und der damit verbundenen mittelalterlichen Religion und Weltanschauung geschuldet.
Die Tour führt uns
- zu den arabischen Bädern und der Burg
- zur Kathedrale
- zum Jüdischen Viertel und zur modernen Stadt
Girona liegt ca. 90 km nordöstlich von Barcelona und wurde vermutlich von den Iberern, einem neolithischem keltischen oder auch nordafrikanischem Volksstamm, der im 6 Jahrhundert v. Chr. hier lebte, gegründet. Später kamen Kelten, Phönizier, Griechen, Karthager und die Römer, die ein Kastell errichteten. Nach dem Ende der Römerzeit herrschten hier Westgoten und später die Mauren. Nachdem Karl der Große die Stadt in sein Reich eingegliedert hatte, wurde sie von Hischam I, dem Emir von Cordoba zerstört.
Erst mit Wilfried I., der von den Karolinger eingesetzt worden war, wurde Girona zu Katalonien angegliedert.
Bei unserer Ankunft in Girona ist das Wetter noch etwas trübe, so dass wir den Blick von einer der Brücken des Onyar auf das berühmte Stadtbild mit seinen farbigen Fassaden nur bedingt genießen können.
Einst war Girona als schmutzige Stadt verschrien, was zum Teil der Papierindustrie zu verdanken war, aber auch dem Umstand, dass die Häuser am Fluss außenliegende Toiletten hatten. Erst nach dem Tod von General Franko wurde unter dem neuen Bürgermeister, der Historiker war, eine Kanalisation geschaffen und die Toiletten in den Innenbereich verlegt. Die Fassaden erhielten neue Anstriche mit frischen Farben. Die bisher als „Girona the Gray“ bekannte Stadt erhielt nun den Spitznamen „Girona the Caramel“.

Ronda, Spain - Baños árabes de Ronda (old Arab Baths)
The partially intact Baños árabes (Arab baths) are found below the city of Ronda, Spain and date back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The old Puente Arabe (bridge) nearby may have been built around the same time.
At the time Ronda was under Moorish (Muslim) rule and baths were an important spiritual ritual for them. A clean body was necessary to enter a mosque and there was a mosque originally near the baths location.
Fascinating history to experience up close, there was even a small public video room to watch a presentation. For more information on baths of this type, check out this link:
As always, Ed is the one doing the camcorder video filming & narration, while I do the still photos, choose the music, then edit it all & upload to You Tube.

Caliphal Baths
In 1903, remains of Arabic baths were unearthed by accident in the area known as Campo de los Santos Mártires, but they were covered over again soon after. However, between 1961 and 1964, a group of Cordoban archaeologists started digging the site again and revealed the sheer size and importance of the find.
These baths were called hammam, and were situated next to what used to be the Omeyan Castle, which it was most likely attached to, and were one the biggest baths of their kind in the city. Ritual washing and personal hygiene played a fundamental part in the lives of Moslems. Washing was carried out before prayer, and was considered an important social ritual.
