The image a lot of people have of the capital of El Baix Empordā is the one they see when crossing the village by the road from Girona to the coast. If you enter the village from Girona, its importance as the capital of pottery is absolutely justified. A large row of shops dedicated to the selling of ceramics goes from the outskirts to the centre. |
