Game of Thrones in Girona

Series 6 of the popular TV series 'Game of Thrones' is just now been filmed in Girona....not too surprising when you look around at the fantastic buildings and streets of the old part of the city, it's an ideal back drop for the Game of Thrones!

We had a trip there on Monday to see if we could see any of the filming taking place, sadly the only evidence we saw were lots of TV & media vehicles parked up just across the river from where filming is taking place and just 2 stars of the series....the horses seen in the photos below!
