Introduction
This area of the Baix Ter, with Ullà as one of the leading municipalities, has specialised in producing apples. Although they have long been grown here, they are now cultivated now in a modern mechanised form as you can see from the rows of high-yield apple trees of the golden delicious, gala, red delicious and granny smith varieties.
All of this production belongs to the prestigious Poma de Girona Protected Geographical Indication, and the production is becoming ever more sustainable and respectful to the environment, protected from hailstorms and featuring other innovations that make the famers’ task easier and safer.
If you pass through this area in late summer and early autumn, you will see lots of traffic with tractors and trailers coming and going carrying tonnes of apples and apple pickers. One of the points in the calendar with the most work and activity in these lands.
Once the harvest is finished, on the third weekend in October, the Apple Festival is held in Ullà, a modern specialist festival.
