La Garrotxa is known for its volcanoes, but also for the quality of its local produce.
The Santa Pau beans, buckwheat, corn flour, red turnips, potatoes of La Vall d'en Bas, sheep cheese "serrat d'ovella"... are just some of the most characteristic products of La Garrotxa.
All these products can be tasted in most restaurants, especially in Volcanic Cuisine and buy on several businesses, such as Plaça Mercat d'Olot.
