Last year, I was teased by it.This year, I found myself right in the middle of it. And quite literally too, the morning that the Girona flower festival was to begin, our threesome drug our bags through the old city from one apartment to the next. Being one of the top reasons to visit Girona, the flower festival had messed with our plans to stay in one place the entire time. We dodged flower admirers with cameras as we careened the twisty streets to get us to our new impermanent home.

And we didn’t realize until we were handed the keys, but we were checking into an apartment with the best view in the city. We were right over top of Sant Feliu Basilica, the stairs of which would host the opening performance that very evening and a DJ’d dance party every evening after. While the required move seemed an annoyance at first, we then couldn’t believe how lucky we were.
