Bishop Jos茅 Carta帽脿 Street - Streets of Braavos, Girona

Slip around the back of Girona鈥檚 cathedral and you鈥檒l stumble onto Bishop Josep Carta帽脿 Street鈥攁 lane that once belonged mostly to locals and pigeons but now doubles as prime Braavos territory. In Game of Thrones Season 6, this is where Arya Stark, blinded and desperate, staggered along the cobbles, begging for alms. The producers hardly touched a thing; the uneven stones, the narrow squeeze of walls, and those shadowy corners were ready-made for Braavos grit.

The street itself begins under an arch beside Apostols鈥� Square and winds down toward Saint Crist貌fol Street. Its name honors Bishop Josep Carta帽脿, who left his mark on Girona in the 20th century and now rests eternally in the cathedral towering above. Beneath your feet lie Roman foundations, while the walls tell tales of medieval expansions. On paper, it鈥檚 a modest side street; in practice, it鈥檚 a timeline compressed into a few dozen meters.

For locals, it鈥檚 another thread in Girona鈥檚 historic fabric. For 鈥淭hronies,鈥� it鈥檚 Arya鈥檚 training ground. The stone steps behind the cathedral gardens have become a pilgrimage site where fans perch, squint into imaginary sunlight, and play the part of a blind girl with more grit than coins. It鈥檚 one of the most reenacted moments in town鈥攁nd perhaps the only spot where you鈥檒l see tourists queuing up to pretend to beg.

That鈥檚 the charm of Bishop Carta帽脿 Street: history layered with pop culture, a lane that鈥檚 both lived-in and cinematic, where Girona鈥檚 past meets fantasy.

Girona Introduction Walking Tour

Girona sits in northeastern Catalonia, where every cobblestone seems to gossip about old allegiances and bitter defeats. Long before tourist maps and cafe terraces, Iberian tribes pitched up here in the 6th century BC. The Romans soon followed, stamping the place with the name Gerunda鈥斺�渘ear the river鈥濃�攁 practical nod to the Onyar River, which still slices the city neatly into old and new.

Let鈥檚 do a visualization exercise: Girona鈥檚 medieval quarter, with its stone staircases and cloistered courtyards, suddenly posing as Westeros. Between 2011 and 2019, HBO鈥檚 Game of Thrones roamed Europe in search of backdrops, and Girona ticked all the boxes鈥擱omanesque towers, Gothic facades, and narrow alleys that looked like they鈥檇 been waiting centuries for a camera crew.
