In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can feel the romantic awakening of the old town of Girona in analogue.
Analogue photography, film or reel, refers to the traditional photographic process, which uses non-digital techniques to produce images, compared to digital photography, very fashionable with mobile phones.
The most popular chemical film format is 35mm, used in most SLR and compact cameras until the end of the 20th century.
Analog photography has as strengths that it promotes craftsmanship and the artistic aspect. Depending on the sensitivity of the film a wide range of dynamics can be obtained.
As can be seen in the images, the deserted streets, before they are filled with passers-by, are dominated by light and shadow, at that moment when the streetlights are still on.
The Barri Vell of Girona forms a historical-artistic ensemble declared a Cultural Property of National Interest. It includes a large part of the old city, that is to say, the sector located between the Gironella Tower and the Onyar River.
It is delimited by an imaginary line that, starting from the Gironella Tower, follows the entire 14th century wall up to the Portal del Carme, going back along the Portal Nou street to Sant Martí Sacosta. It includes the entire Calle de los Ciutadans from Plaça del Oli to Plaça del Vi.
Next, continue along Calle de la Força, turn off to include the Collegiate Church of Sant Feliu, continue towards the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligans, from there you will find the wall and return, along the Paseo Arqueológico towards the Torre Gironella .
The nucleus of old Girona is made up of the Força Vella fortified enclosure, which formed a triangle bounded by the beginning of Carrer de la Força, the Gironella Tower and the Sant Feliu square, and which in its layout coincided with the limits of the Iberian and Roman Girona.
