What is there for kids to do?

The fair runs children's workshops and hands-on activities, and the batucada and sardana dancing pull kids in. The garnatxa tasting is just one part of a broader village fair.

What exactly is a brunyol?

It's an Empordà fritter, doughnut-like and lightly sweet, traditionally eaten around Easter. They're fried fresh at the fair, so you can try one warm.

Can we turn it into a full day trip from Barcelona?

Easily. Garriguella sits in the Alt Empordà near Figueres, so you can pair the fair with the Dalí Theatre-Museum or head on to a Costa Brava beach.

About

On the Saturday before Easter, the little Empordà town of Garriguella fills its streets for the Fira de la Garnatxa i del Brunyol. Two local specialties take center stage: brunyols, lightly sweet fritters fried fresh on the spot, and garnatxa, the local sweet wine poured from the barrel. Around the food there is an artisan market, children's workshops, sardana dancing, batucada drumming and live music.
