Girona is a town about an hour north of Barcelona.  It is a beautiful town, and I think the Cathedral and the famous Eiffel Bridge (constructed by Gustave Eiffel just before the construction of the Eiffel Tower in Paris) over the Onyar River are the main attractions that draw tourists to this town.  The colorful buildings along the river, the lovely atmosphere in the narrow streets, and the warm people are all added bonuses.
