THE SWEETEST GIRONA
If you like the sweet treat, this is your experience!
This experience combines the guided tour of the old quarter with the tasting of local sweets:

- the sweet sausage
We talk about the xuixo, the most well-known gironinian sweet. It’s a fried pastry butter bun filled with cream. And we reveal the legend of the Tarlà, which has a lot to do with the origin of the xuixo.
And we taste the xuixo of course!
Are you used to eat salty meat? This time you will try something different! We will taste the sweet sausage. It’s similar to a cured pork meat sausage but sweet. It’s a product of extremes: you will either like it or hate it!
