Costa Brava cuisine is, above all, local. Mountains and sea not only define the landscape—they supply the ingredients that shape every plate. From the coast come Palamós red prawns, anchovies from L’Escala, and dishes such as suquet de peix, cimitomba, stuffed squid, lobster a la tossenca, and the renowned rice from Pals. Inland, olive oils, cheeses, wines, and cured meats prevail—including botifarra dolça, a sweet Catalan sausage delicately flavored with sugar, lemon, and cinnamon.
