Inland from Castelló d’Empúries lies Peralada, another medieval town with numerous historic buildings.
It was ruled by the Counts of Peralada until absorbed into the earldom of Empúries. Its historic buildings are exceptionally well preserved: the Gothic Convent of El Carme, the Romanesque cloister of Sant Domènec, and the 14th-century castle of the Rocabertí family, which boasts a library rich in incunabula and first editions, a casino, and gardens where a celebrated music and dance festival takes place.
Good wine and cava are also made in Peralada. Local people like to go there to enjoy a bottle of cava and a slice of tomato bread and sausage.
