78 Culture 154 Culture Enriching cultural experiences await you on the Costa Brava and in the Girona Pyrenees. You can trace the history of the territory as you travel through it, following in the footsteps of different civilisations. You can start by travelling back to the 7 th century BC, visiting Iberian settlements such as Ullastret, followed by the ruins of Empúries, a magnificent monumental complex with remains from the Greek and Roman occupation. The mediaeval period deserves a chapter to itself, thanks to a whole series of exceptional historical sites: the majestic monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, which seems to dominate the Mediterranean, or the monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll, considered the cradle of Catalonia; the Jewish legacy of Girona Jewish quarter; the ancient towns of Besalú, Tossa de Mar, Pals or Peratallada, authentic outdoor museums; and Romanesque art, scattered throughout the area, a treasure shared and carefully preserved by many towns. The cultural offering of these counties also includes the landscape paintings of Joaquim Vayreda, one of the leading painters of the Olot school, or the paintings of Marc Chagall, who found refuge in Tossa de Mar, his blue paradise. The most internationally renowned local artist is Salvador Dalí. His name will be forever associated with that of the Costa Brava, thanks to three sites where visitors can immerse themselves in the life and work of the genius from Empordà: the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the Salvador Dalí House-Museum in Portlligat (Cadaqués) and the Gala Dalí Castle House- Museum in Púbol, in the municipal district of La Pera. Salvador Dalí is a name that will be forever associated with the Costa Brava, with three sites where visitors can immerse themselves in the life and work of the Empordà genius.

79 Gastronomy 156 Gastronomy The gastronomy of the counties of Girona is one of the area s great attractions. Without a doubt, it is on a par with the beauty of the landscape and is an important factor in ensuring the success of business meetings. The great culinary tradition of this region goes back a very long way and is based on its magnificent geography and climate, thanks to which excellent sea and mountain ingredients can be obtained: Mediterranean fish, top quality meat and artisan cured sausages, a wide variety of vegetables, mushrooms, olive oil and fine wines with the Empordà Denomination of Origin seal. What is more, Girona s gastronomy today is synonymous with creativity. Just as Salvador Dalí surprised the world with his surrealist works, another genius, Ferran Adrià, has amazed everyone with his recipes. His famous restaurant, El Bulli, situated right on the Cap de Creus, was for many years one of the world s benchmarks for avant-garde cuisine. It has now been turned into a foundation that we will hear a lot about in the future and that will continue with the innovative work of its creator. Clearly, many others have contributed to the leap in quality and creativity of Girona s cuisine, such as the prestigious El Celler de Can Roca, recently named the World s Best Restaurant by the prestigious British magazine Restaurant, and so many other restaurants that (whether or not they have been rewarded with Michelin stars) have achieved the reinvention of an entire country s cuisine. The great culinary tradition of this region goes back a very long way and is based on its magnificent geography and climate, thanks to which excellent sea and mountain ingredients can be obtained.
