The streets of the city are filled with chestnut farms with their roasted chestnut stalls where you can buy freshly roasted chestnuts or sweet potatoes.

Panallets

One of the most typical sweets of Catalan gastronomy and the one that is most visible during the fall is the panellet. Panellets are also a traditional sweet to celebrate All Saints’ Day, especially during the Castanyada festival. The traditional panallet is the one with pine nuts. It is a sweet dough made with sugar, ground raw almonds, egg and lemon zest, which gives it a spongy texture. The outside is coated with egg white, which helps the layer of pine nuts adhere.
