L'antic antiquari / The old antique shop

Recordo, quan era petit, haver anat amb els meus pares diverses vegades a un antiquari que hi havia en aquesta casa. Ara és un hotelet rural.

 

El poble empordanès de Peratallada, apart de ser un dels més bonics de Catalunya (vaja potser el més bonic i punt), també té un nom molt adient. Evidentment Peratallada ve de pedra tallada, i si mireu els fossats de les seves muralles entendreu ràpidament perquè.

==================================================

 

When I was a child I remember going (with my parents) to an antique shop that stood in this houses. Now is a beautiful little hotel.

 

The Catalan village of Peratallada (for me possibly the most beautiful in Catalonia) has a very complex medieval urbanism. Centered arround the castle of the Cruilles noble family, the village has several interconected walls and moats, only partly preserved. The stone-carved moats give the name to the village, Peratallada, which means 'cut/carved stone'.
