Found on the Internet a restaurant (Restaurant Iberian), with a spiral above the entrance very tempting, when we saw the prices, between about 35 to 40 € per person, for the comments you eat very well, but we'll leave for another occasion and decided to look for something cheaper.
La Bisbal d'Empordà
We took the car and moved to this town, larger and more sites to choose from, and we were hungry. We took a little walk and we decided on a restaurant located on one side of the new bridge, menu for 13 € with drink and dessert included, ate very well but in a simpler plan. To lower the food and burn calories were walking around the old town, being a working day it was very quiet with few people on the streets, not like in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith the noise of cars and people up and down.
