Look out for some of the traditional dishes available made from Local produce such as olive oil, fish, vegetables and meat. Arroz negro - made with rice and squid ink, suquet - made with fish and potatoes. L'Escala is famous for its excellent fish and anchovies. 

Another gastronomic pleasure are the 'tapas' ( in bars). Whether at mid-day or in the evening, you will be unable to resist trying the many delicacies such as cheeses and hams, tiny earthenware dishes of sizzling 'aperitivos' of seafood, fish, meats. It's the chance to dip into so many tastes, as well as the visual spread of tapas that make them universally appealing.

The Mediterranean diet is generally regarded as one of the most nutritionally healthy in the world.  Meals in many of L'Escala's restaurants are fantastic value; they can cost as little as 7 Euros for a quality 3 course meal including wine and water.
 

And then, of course, there are the superb wines, especially from the regions of Penedes and Rioja and the Catalan vineyards produce excellent inexpensive wines and champagne.
