La lleona

El cul de la lleona (The lioness' bottom)

Whilst in Girona, Mr Coubrough took us to the Plaça de Sant Feliu to kiss a statue of a lioness.  Below is some information about the legend surrounding the lioness taken from the tourist office´s website. 

The lioness. There is a popular legend: If you go to Girona you have to kiss the lioness' bottom. It is an easy way to express a wish to come back to the town, or stay there forever or to become a citizen. It goes without saying that someone is not considered a good Girona inhabitant if they haven't completed the ritual. The final argument: this is the only place in the world where you can kiss a lioness' bottom without getting into trouble.
