In the region of la Segarra and the neighbourhood regions of Urgell and la Noguera you can find a great variety of autochtonous products, mainly foodstuff, all of a great quality. Apart from the foodstuff you will also find a remarkable variety of articles which will certainly satisfy your needs and caprices.

 Foodstuff: the bread, the meat, the fish... and the sweets. Wine, oil. Liqueurs...

In Sedó, in Ca l'Agullé the village shop, you have all the necessary foodstuff, just as the meat. If you book it you can have daily bread from Guissona. Moreover, no need to say that in Cervera, Guissona and Tàrrega you can have shopping centres for all yor needs. But nothing is more charming than the weekly markets. The most important one you will find it on Sunday in Tàrrega in the neighbourhood region of Urgell; but we cannot forget the markets in the same region: Thursday in Guissona anf Friday in Cervera, this last one the most important one. Further from the region, and at weekends, you cannot miss in l’Anoia the mythical market of Calaf (there is a catalan saying which says: “this seems the Calaf market!” This one takes place every Saturday. And finally the market of Artesa de Segre, in la Noguera region every Sundays. But step by step. Where will we buy all we need?

BREAD AND CAKES

If you want some bread baked in the firewood oven, in Torrefeta there is one of the scanty ovens which strictly follows this system, although you must phone and convince the baker (Mr P. Aloy) to let you enjoy it. Other near baker’s are in Guissona and Cervera. A little bit further, in Sanaüja you will find two baker’s and cake shop’s of quality, pointing up Cal Peretó for its kilo croissant with or without chocolate. You can find them in Ponts as well in the cake shop with the same name; in Ponts Cal Benet has a good reputation for the quality of its products. Moreover, the baker’s of Artesa de Segre have a deserved reputation.

Although this is not, of course a land of fish, you can also get it in Sedó on Thursday morning in a street stall coming from St Ramon and in the fishmonger’s of Guissona and Cervera – included the one in Caprabo. These ones can perfectly satisfy your needs.

SWEETS

Probably the best known and best product of these lands is the “torró” ( a kind of nougat made of almomd, honey, etc.) of Agramunt. In this village you will also find one of the most traditional chocolate specialities: it is called stone chocolate. But talking about this product and some other derived products from the purest cacao, we recomend you should dare with the “Vall d’Or” chocolates which are elaborated by Antonia Zaccarelli in the village of Cellers (Torà) and you will find them available in the ancient Casa Magí of Torà supermarket. Finally the cake shops of the region have their own specialities, like the “nevats” in the cakeshop Agustí from Cervera, the “sabines” in the cake shop Colom in Cervera as well and the “morenetes” in Santaulària cakeshop in Guissona.The brand “L’infant d’Or”, in the village of Gospí, offers you some very good elaborated products.
