Galeria Riera
Located in the Old Town of Girona, Galeria Riera is housed in the 12th-century Hospital de Capellans. Promoting the work of local Catalan artists, it showcases all types of art but focuses specifically on painting. Artists featured here include Joan Mateu, who paints very life-like pictures of places around the Costa Brava, and Sergi Cadenas, who paints 3D oil paintings of faces on flat surfaces.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR JOB?
It's the personal contact, the personal experiences. I love meeting people from all over the world... I really like getting to know everyone and feeling like I'm traveling with a group of friends.
WHAT DESTINATION IS ON YOUR TRAVEL BUCKET-LIST?
I have so many places on my list, but I would really lobe to go to Africa. I consider myself an “adventure girl” and Africa feels like the ULTIMATE adventure!
