Girona v Gerona

Girona is Catalan and Gerona is Castillian Spanish... I tend to prefer Girona as it is in Catalonia and Catalan is the official language (alongside Castillian Spanish) of the region. Girona province itself is predominently Catalan speaking. Like in Vitoria/Gasteiz the former being Castillian Spanish and the later being Basque or Euskerra. Majorca is the English word for Mallorca. The Spanish have to be very sensitive to their multilingual nations, regions and provinces.
