      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/47a9e435-0b93-45ea-8555-bc3fcb2797aa_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>48 hours after the easterly wind that has severely battered the Girona region, <a href="https://en.ara.cat/society/classes-in-alt-and-baix-emporda-selva-and-girones-suspended-due-to-the-storm_1_5622890.html" target="_blank">with one fatality in Palau-Sator</a> and one <a href="https://en.ara.cat/society/it-was-as-if-the-floor-of-the-first-carriage-had-disappeared-the-witness-of-one-of-the-passengers-of-the-train-that-crashed-in-gelida_1_5623973.html" target="_blank">tragic train accident in Gelida</a>The cleanup, reconstruction, and damage assessment efforts have begun. Along the entire Costa Brava coastline, beaches are covered in sand and driftwood, while across the Baix Ter plain in the Empordà region, many apple, corn, and rice fields remain flooded due to the overflowing river, with some secondary roads still closed. The towns most affected by the Ter's flooding, as usual, are those closest to its mouth. Ullà, Torroella de Montgrí, Estartit, Gualta, Verges, and Serra de Daró were isolated throughout Tuesday due to large pools of water on the roads and roundabouts leading into and out of the towns. This is the area where the river runs at its fullest, as it receives the entire flow of the Onyar River, which, as it passes through Girona, was carrying a significant volume of water, reaching within meters of the famous colorful houses in the city center. And also the Daró stream, a dry riverbed that in the early hours of Tuesday was flowing at 500 m³/s through La Bisbal d'Empordà. This causes the water to flow along the slopes and cover fields and roads, without affecting the town centers, which are slightly elevated and farther from the streambeds, but leaving mobility completely disrupted. </p>]]></description>

Born in Sicily in 1943 but based in the Empordà region for practically his entire life, he was awarded the prestigious award for best ice cream maker in the world in 2006. A master and godfather to renowned pastry chefs such as Jordi Roca, throughout his career he has become renowned everywhere as a great promoter of the qualities and virtues of this typical summer dessert. Corvitto began making ice cream without pretension or great aspirations, self-taught, in a small workshop in Torroella de Montgrí in 1982. From this emerged his own brand—Helats Angelo—which is still operating today, with the same seal of quality and artisanal production, under the direction of his son, Hervé Corvit.</p>]]></description>
