Girona's main festival and by far its biggest is the Fires De Sant Narcis in late October until November 5th, lasting two weeks (From late October to early November). It's named after the city's patron Saint Narcis, known locally as the 'Saint of flies'.
It starts with an evening opening ceremony in front of the Girona Ajuntament or town hall building in the old town, in Placa Vi which gets very crowded. Giant figures are paraded through the streets and a huge, motorized Frankenstein-like effigy about 12ft tall was wheeled out which had my kids well scared!
Numerous market stalls crop up all over the city, the Placa de Independencia has stalls that sell books and locally produced artisan food like cured meats, sausages, honeys and cakes. We bought some delicious chocolate cheesecake and skewers of mixed fruit dipped in chocolate.
The Parc De La Devesa's long, wide avenues get totally taken over by a giant fairground, open till the early hours at weekends, with rides for all ages and even a giant ferris-wheel or 'eye' that towers above the tall Plane trees.
At the north end of the park on a large open area called La Copa they erect a huge stage with different bands playing most nights, and surrounded by numerous shacks that sell hot food and drinks.
Locals refer to this place as the 'barracks' or 'Las Baracas'. It seems that each food shack is run by or supports local schools who benefit from the profits made. It was busy with a young crowd when I went one cold, October night.
On one of the festival days we also went to the bottom of the Cathedral steps at about 9pm to watch the human castle being performed-quite spectacular amd a must-see. This is when they stand on each other's shoulder's and build a column of people with a small child being the very last person to clamber up to the top. Once the human column is assembled the whole column 'walks' up the Cathedral steps!
There are many other festival events dotted around the city on different days, as well as Arts and Craft markets at the weekends, the biggest is in the old town on November 1st. with many stalls selling paintings and jewelery.
About late morning on the last day (4th Nov) there's the Trobada de Gegants (meeting of the giants) these are large papier mache figures which are paraded through the streets, well worth catching.
It all ends with a magnificent, big firework display at about 9pm which is best watched from by the side of the river Ter near the Palau de Congressors Girona's conference center, also used for concerts.
The tourist office is the best place for more info and leaflets.

My better half and I are fair-weather riders. Since temperatures below 55 degrees don't qualify as'fair', we decided to get a tutor so we could recover from our winter blahs.
The Cycleops Fluid2 coach fits in. It is quiet, stable and simple to use. But it is not perfect.
Setup
It took me about fifteen minutes to get the Fluid2 going. Although I consider myself to be'handy' ( I'm an engineer ), I found the instructions somewhat confusing. A key part needed to be installed - it was simple after I understood it, but the illustrations in the instruction pamphlet failed to show the part in the slightest.
The Fluid2 comes with a quick-release skewer that you are supposed to install on your bike ( replaces your current skewer ). If you have a bolted rear wheel with solid axle I don't know what to do. I believe the cause of the Cycleops skewer is to make sure that the cones on the tutor snuggle well with the bike, to supply a secure fit.
To fit your bicycle onto the tutor you adjust the width of the cones by turning the threaded piece. The opposite side is pushed against the wheel spindle with a lever. This works reasonably well.
The final step is to bump the friction unit against the tire using another lever.
although each of these steps is described in the instructions, I didn't see any info related to the amount of stress to apply. Both the wheel cones and the tire friction are adjustable by turning the related parts ( they are threaded ). So you can get a loose or tight fit.
Operation
I like that there are no adjustments on the Fluid2. You change strain by changing gears as you ride. If you need stronger resistance, switch to a higher gear - exactly like riding a flat road outside.
For my other half, the resistance is perfect. She rides in the middle chain ring of her triple, and the middle of her rear cogset ( 42x21 ), and adjusts a few gears up and down from there.
Being a stronger - but miles away from'strongest' - rider, my experience is dissimilar. I find myself only on the enormous ring, and I run out of gears at the top end ( 52x12 ). If I am spinning at high intonation I should be in a comfortable gear range ( 52x21 ), but if I attempt to simulate a steep hill with low cadence I run out of gears.
We keep the coach on a studio overlooking the living room. The noise level doesn't interfere with anything ( e.g, conversation, TV ). There is no vibration.
Switching between our bikes takes 3 or four minutes. I move the skewer between the bikes, and have to re-adjust the cones holding the bike in place on the coach as the width of our bikes differ.

Has anyone tried Zefal Lock N' Roll Skewers...?
Hi, I'm Alps,
I'm considering buying some of these skewers to replace the standard quick release ones I have on my bicycle, for security.
These are them:

Though, I lock my bicycle to railings, and need to know how much rotation is needed to unlock the skewers, because even with my locks on I think it's possible to rotate the bike upto about 85 degrees.
Thanks (in advance)!
I would just get lockable skewers that use a key.
