Routes of the “tramuntana” wind and light "The projection of the air of the tramontana on the country produces a clean landscape, dry, precise, admirably drawn... of naked distances that approach in sight, with immense rainbows, of a dazzling metallic purity". Josep Pla in "The wind of Southwesterly Wind and the north wind (Essay about the weather of the country)", in My Country (1967). The tramontana it's cold, dry wind, which proceeds of the north and often very strong. Is a typical climatic factor from the Empordà, which influences the character of the persons. The irritability increases them for some and in other, however, loads them of energy. The light and the color of the Empordà after a north wind, it's like contemplating an artwork. It is surprising to ascertain the influence accused of the wind in the conformation of environments, of landscapes with speech. Jacint Verdaguer, Carles Fages de Climent, Salvador Dalí, and later Josep Pla saw in the north wind an essential element of the genius loci from Empordà. The routes of the tramontana and of the light are from abrupt and scabrous geography, propped by the wind of the north wind. Landscape, photography and, either flavor in sea (from Port Bou until Cap de Creus) or flavor in rosemary (for the Albera), are what these routes offer. The routes of the light also include the show of the sky from Empordà that so well reflected Dalí in their work. But the best skies, they arrive with the night. When the golden light of the Empordà vanishes and night falls. The colors of twilight, mark starry nights and uncontaminated. As each year, only in August, when can be visited the largest surrealist object of the world, the Theater-Museum Dalí, by night. The night timetable is from ten o’clock in the evening through to one o’clock in the morning (last entrance at 12.30 am). During that time visitors will be offered a glass of cava on one of the inner terraces, where an audiovisual will also be projected (weather permitting).

Food wine tours has selected a range of wineries where to develop a few of your activities in the territory where you are accommodated. When you start a tale in the Catalan tradition you would say: Heus aquí una vegada…Once upon a time there was a place where people and earth worked together. There was an earth where the Greeks planted seeds (which are the llavors in our language) of a great history. There were the soils (sòls in Catalan) that saw grew up the vineyard and olive cultivation. Here is where tradition and the search for authenticity go together. This is the way, with hope, that the image takes colour and the darkness breaks. This is a small vineyard and olive grove in the core of Empordà, in Mollet de Peralada. It is also a young familiar company fruit of the effort and dreams come true. The origin of this project traces back to 2002 when two old Carignan and Grenache vines – aged between 50 and 75 – were purchased. So far, more and more vines have been planted up to the almost 30 ha. The project was consolidated in 2006 with the construction of the cellar and the making of the first wines. Since 2009 the winery belongs to one of the first wineries that have entered to the Integrated system of cultivation respectful with the environment.
