This magical place is a true hidden gem for readers. Not so many of Girona’s numerous visitors know about its existence, and you will most probably be left to your book and the wonderful surroundings.
The spot is located right behind Sant Pere de Galligants, a Benedictine abbey dating from the tenth century, which is a beautiful sight itself. The reading place is a cosy garden with several benches, a pond with water lilies and a magnificent green roof of tree leafage above your head.
I remember sitting there with a book on Thoreau, birds chirping in the verdure and plashes of sunlight jumping around me. A quiet, blissful place for reading in one of my favourite cities.
