Vic is distinguished by its plaza major; big, unpaved, and preserved in the traditional style. We had just enough energy to go around the city center to check out all the modernismo buildings.
Our 10-week tour of Spain is ending. We loved every bit of it. It was abundantly clear to us, since our previous trip in 2017, Spain has made a lot of progress and is in ascendance.
Our first look at Plaza Major on the minor market day.
We stayed in a hotel on the 2nd floor of the old train station - just a one minute walk to the tracks.
It rained the afternoon we arrived, but we still walked around town, plus made an appointment for our (then mandatory) COVID-19 test.
No curbs, few cars downtown.
The Cathedral is enormous (with a cloister).
The clinic we used for our covid shot is across the small plaza from the Cathedral. Bonus: it's a beautiful Modernismo building.
There is a restored Roman Temple in Vic.
A block of Modernismo buildings.
Small Plaza.
This balcony caught my eye.
Later in the day we spotted the snow-capped Pryeneese in the distance
The striking Sant Jordi Building.
Political murals and graffiti.
Street festival.
A few more murals.
Our final view of Plaza MaJor.
