Close to the bay of Roses, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, we will find one of the archeological sites of the antiquity in the peninsula. In the bars and restaurants of La Escala you will be able to eat tapas and also a la carte, enjoying a full gastronomy experience.
For centuries the maritime municipality of L’Escala has been known for the enterprises of salting that are dedicated almost exclusively to fishing, production and sail of anchovies. This fish is one of the most famous in a place that has become a gastronomic reference at a national level in the world of the salted canned food. Its importance can be proved during the month of October in the celebration of the Fiesta de la Anchoa and the Ruta de la Tapa de la Anchoa.
Apart from this, L’Escala also has a cuisine that can be defined as a Mediterranean one, where fish is the base to the local diet. The fishing harbor is one of the references in the surroundings and the auctions in the fish market are a whole attraction. Starting with the quality of the products, the local restaurants offer all kinds of traditional dishes such as rice, fideua, escudellas and fish suquets.
