Crisisssss – 4 fuets for 5€

Stallholders in Vilafranca del Penedès are slashing prices, but don't let greed get the better of you.

Fuet is called llonganissa in Valencia and longaniza in Spain generally. It’s a dry, cured, thin pork sausage in intestine or similar. The nearest equivalent Rohwurst I can think of is Landjäger.

  • 9 de setembre de 1918 Passat el dia a Girona –sense tenir-hi prĂ cticament res a fer. El viatge, en tren, anar i tornar, val: 3,60 ptes. Tothom ho troba car.
