Banyoles is a small town near Barcelona, in north-eastern Catalonia. I am guessing therefore that the first line of description is in the Catalan language. The town has buildings which date from the 12th century, and grew around a much earlier Benedictine monastery. It is most famous for the Lake of Banyoles, a large lake which was the venue for the rowing competitions in the 1992 Olympic Games.
From the town website:
Cobbled streets, little squares and cozy corners, civil and religious buildings, art and the water flowing through the canals from the lake all come together in a unique town centre that merits special attention.
Sighs.. Barcelona is my absolute favorite place I am hoping to return in a few years and live there for just a bit. After the kids are gone.. thanks for just sharing this pic
