Description

Visit a historic anchovy factory in L’Escala and explore its tradition through an interactive museum tour with audioguide, followed by a tasting of local delicacies.


Discover the authentic taste and tradition of L’Escala through a unique visit to one of the oldest anchovy factories in the region. Housed in a historic 19th-century building, the Anchovy Heritage Museum offers an engaging, self-guided tour that blends local culture, history, and gastronomy.
