Take a culinary trip through Palafrugell

Culinary campaigns

 

Our region combines a wide variety of high-quality raw ingredients that we can discover through the culinary campaigns organised by the town’s restaurants.

Palafrugell hosts two culinary campaigns: Es Niu and la Garoinada, which keep the cork-making and sailing traditions alive respectively.

  • Es Niu is a dish with ancient origins in Palafrugell. The meal originally did not have meat: it was a dish for Lent. This slowly cooked dish has evolved and you can taste it in some of the town’s restaurants only during the second half of October.

  • La Garoinada is one of the premier culinary campaigns in the Girona region and also one of the best known. It is held in winter during the last few days of January when the sea is calm and the sea urchins are at their most succulent.
