La Terra is, possibly, the Girona bar that appears most often on Instagram. From its bohemian decor that makes you feel like getting out your Moleskine notebook and writing endless verses of poetry to the mosaic on the floor, the views over the river Onyar and the bathroom (it's the one most feared by drunk people in Girona) - it all deserves to be photographed. What not everyone knows is that, as well as sandwiches made with 'llonguet' bread that would make Chuck Norris cry, and fresh fruit juices that are far superior to smoothies, at La Terra they make the best carrot cake in the city. There's no unnecessary spices and just a hint of cheese. A real delicacy.
The best things about Girona are not (just) the landmarks that appear (usually) in the guidebooks. And even though it sometimes doesn't seem like it, there's much more to see than the Cathedral, the bottom of the Lionness and the houses that back onto the river Onyar. It's the people who really make a city and the best of Girona are the bars, clubs, restaurants and shops. Everybody has their Girona - this is ours.
