AGRICULTURE AND CATTLE-RAISING
You may eat fine fruit and vegetables all over Catalonia.
The ones harvested in Lleida are among the best.

Catalan wines are excellent. The regions of "El Penedès" and "El Priorat" make the best ones. In Sant Sadurní d'Anoia (a town near Barcelona) they make first-class "cava" (champagne). No doubt the great quality of the soil and the good weather are a great help.
There are lots of farms everywhere. Hens, pigs
and rabbits are raised in most of them.
You can eat the best hazelnuts in Tarragona.

The rice from Amposta (Montsià) is delicious, and the flowers from El Maresme are lovely.
And
don´t forget that the best fish awaits you at any coastal town!
