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 two local sweets:
- the xuixo
- the chocolate flies
When we found the figures of the flies, we told the legend of the flies of Saint Narcissus – the patron saint of Girona – and we taste the delicious chocolate flies.
We continue to the village to get to know the Cathedral square, the Jewish quarter and the Rambla.
We cross the Eiffel’s bridge and here we talk about the xuixo, the most well-known gironinian sweet. It’s a fried butter bun with sugar outside, and the best part: filled with cream. And we reveal the legend of Tarlà, which has a lot to do with the origin of the xuixo.
And we taste the xuixo of course!
With this experience you discover Girona and taste its richest sweets.
