Can Serrallonga

If you ask a resident of Salt, one of Girona's neighbouring towns, where to go for breakfast, lunch or a few beers, it's more than likely that they'll recommend Can Serrallonga. This bar-restaurant has, in a very short time, become one of the most emblematic and popular in Salt. Back in 2008, more than a year after the mythic Bar la Bogeda lowered its shutters for the last time and having seen that there was no other bar in Salt to enjoy 'botifarra' sausage on toasted bread, or a reasonably priced beer, Pep Rafart decided to open Can Serrallonga. It's a classic (Catalan) tavern like the ones there used to be in the good old days: simple dishes, traditional recipes and excellent beers. However, in one respect Can Serrallonga is very contemporary: it takes part in numerous local events, organising concerts, discussions and more. If you go, you must try the horse steak. It is, along with the snails and grilled meat, one of the bar's most popular dishes. And for good reason!
