This bread is called coca del Montgrí and some specialized magazines have called it "the best bread in the world".

It's made by the bakery Can Francès in Torroella de Montgrí (a town in the Comarques Gironines area of Catalonia). It's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and you don't need a knife to cut it because the squares in its shape makes it easy to break with your hands.

The bread is fermented in cold and is stored unfinished. When each client comes to buy one, the bakers give it the last part of its baking process so that it will always be sold fresh.

Angeles Santos Torroella - Retrat de José Mª Lafarga Santos

MWW Artwork of the Day (3/18/23) Ángeles Santos Torroella (Catalan, 1911-2013) Girl (Portrait of Conchita)(c. 1929) Oil on canvas, 64.5 x 47 cm. Museu Nacional d'Art Catalunya, Barcelona

Ángeles Santos Torroella was a Catalan artist forgotten and rediscovered many times. She became an artist at an early age, who when she was 18 years old painted one of her masterpieces," Un Mundo (A World)." Her production, however, is clearly divided in two very different periods. First of all, the young Ángeles Santos adopted surrealism and expressionism.  In 1936, when she began to exhibit in Barcelona, she suffered an artistic crisis and her style changed radically to adopt a much more pleasant, sweet and traditional language.  This change could have been due to the little success that her works had had in the city of Barcelona, where at that time noucentism dominated and where her style was considered to be gloomy. Anyway, with these more pleasing works she was able to continue painting and selling in the post-war Spain.

La seva pintura és entra: Fauvista que es caracteritza per una ocupació provocativa del color. Impressionista caracteritzat, a grans trets, per l'intent de plasmar la llum, l'instant, sense reparar en la identitat d'allò que la projectava i l'expressionisme, entès com la deformació de la realitat per a expressar de forma més subjectiva la naturalesa
