Mollet del Vallès offers a delightful taste of traditional Catalonian cuisine, with its food culture deeply rooted in fresh, local ingredients. The city is known for its rich variety of cured meats, including fuet and butifarra, traditional Catalonian sausages that are staples in local dishes. Pa amb tomàquet, a simple yet flavorful dish of bread rubbed with tomatoes and drizzled with olive oil, is a favorite in local restaurants and a must-try for visitors.
