Last two months: La Bisbal d'Empordà

May 27th, 2016

One of my favourite places in Spain, is the little town of La Bisbal d'Empordà which is about 1.5 hours from Barcelona by car on the Costa Brava. This town is famous for pottery, and you can spend an entire day browsing through the dozens of pottery shops.  Don't spend all your money at the first shop, as prices will vary from shop to shop so it's best to look through a few shops before committing.  Friday is also public market day when the downtown core is filled with vendors selling fruits and vegetables, houseware, clothing and just about anything else, local and imported.  Definitely worth the detour if you are headed down Costa Brava as it is only about 20 km from the beaches.  Also I highly recommend the restaurant where we stopped to grab some lunch.  It is called Cafeteria Bisbal Park, the patatas bravas were really good and the prices were very reasonable.
