Walking in this pretty city is very cool, and you can finds restaurants, bars, parks, shops (in whatever you want). It's a wonderful little city to settle down for a week or two.

History buffs should probably take a tour, but I was more interested in walking the grounds. I took a one hour train ride from Toulouse. I recommend staying elsewhere and visiting the castle as the city itself is not a stand out culturally and architecturally. From the SNCF station it is about a one mile walk to the Narbonne Gate in the Old City. I used AllTrails to navigate the castle as it is large and it is hard to distinguish where you are otherewise. It took me 90 minutes to walk the circumference of the lower outer gates and the inner city. The castle is FREE but the ramparts are ticketed. Advice: Everyone told me the food is not good here so pack a lunch and eat at the walls or the park at the gate. Many restaurants in the city if you choose otherwise. Sunscreen if it is a sunny day. If you take the train, there are markets along the way even on Sun.

Is it crazy to write a review for a bridge? Not sure, but I'm doing it…read more This bridge is amazing. It was originally constructed in medieval times. It is the perfect way to enter the idyllic village of Besalú. Once you step on the bridge and face the stone houses, it's almost like you're almost transported into time. I was half expecting a knight to ride across the bridge or to hear a trumpet fanfare for a king or queen. This is about 45 minutes' drive from Girona. Go here. See it. Step back in time.

La Forteresse de Salses fut construite profondément enfouie dans le sol, afin de se dérober en partie aux vues et aux coups de l'ennemi. Construite entre 1497 et 1504, elle résiste à un premier siège en 1503, alors qu'elle n'est pas encore achevée. La forteresse a subi de nombreuses attaques pendant le XVIème siècle, mais a su résister. En 1642, le fort est conquis par les Français. Quelques années plus tard, en 1659, il perd son intérêt stratégique avec la signature du traité des Pyrénées. Il sert alors tour à tour de prison d'État, puis de poudrière. En 1886, la forteresse de Salses est classée monument historique.
