Montserrat

Black Madonna of Montserrat
...procesion, Plaza San Jaume
Gerona
... la leona. Once a hostal for travelers to stay in, now it is a place of importance to the locals. The children climb up and kiss the lion's behind, the 'retired' people rub their lottery tickets on the animal's bottom (as the lady demonstrates in the pic)... what does it mean... they say it holds your definite return to the city. It was very amousing to see it!
Arab Baths
... in front of the cathedral, what was once the Via Augusta still remains as one of the main roads in the old city. You can actually see the enormous boulders from the Roman wall on the sides of that entrance.
... the christian way for entering the city...
... vs the jewish. Apparently this was a city where religion played a big role in every aspect of their lives. All religions were considered very orthodox, very conservative in their beliefs. What was the result? Innumerable disputes between all branches, specially between the catholic and the jewish people. In my opinion it is very interesting to see the resulting effect of these events in history within a city.
