Just by the beach, at C/Santa Màxima, 3 in L'Escala, a small treasure is hiding: La Botiga de l'Anxova (The Anchovy Shop). This is where Joan Gardella sells his unique wooden creations under the commercial name of Nituwood; you'll find letters, animals, kitchen tables and decorative items. They also sell other locally made products and various vintage items (such as old school maps, coffee grinders, typewriters, decanters...).
