Vilabertran filled apple
-
These typical deserts from the Empordà are most popular in the August and September festivals. Centuries ago, in Vilabertran it was traditional to eat filled apples mid-way through dances. Many people from the surrounding area would go to Vilabertran specially to enjoy these exquisite desserts. The village of Vilabertran inherited them and has kept producing them and now passes them on to new generations through the festival celebrated each year in mid-September.
