Aquest cap de setmana comencen les Fires de Girona. Els nens petits aniran a la nòria i els més grans a les barraques; tots a la Devesa, el parc urbà més gran de Catalunya (Viquipèdia dixit).
————————-
“La Devesa” is an urban park located in Girona, the largest one in Catalonia. These days it holds a funfair celebrating the official city holiday, “Sant Narcís“. According to a legend, “Sant Narcís” helped the citizens of Girona in the XIIIth century fighting with flies against the french army that was besieging the city. There is another legend regarding the origin of this park that involves the french army: the troops of Napoleon planted the trees during the siege of the city in 1808. Actually, some people believe the second legend is true, but it isn’t: the park was created by the city hall on the second half of the XIXth century.
