Peralada
Located in the northern plains of Figueres, in the region of Alt Empordà, the village was the capital of the Perelada County since ancient times. Since 1987 a festival of music has been held in Peralada.
It was the Viscount of Rocabertí who erected the great castle which, once remodelled in the late 19th century, has reached our days as a casino.
