The historic delicatessen and butcher shop Can Pericus in Banyoles is in luck. This legendary family business, founded in 1899, has been honored with the National Award for Centenary Establishments, a recognition given by the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Government) to businesses that have been in business for more than a century. The award honors the more than 125 years of experience of this late 19th-century butcher shop, which is now located in a space in the old town and another under the arches of Plaça Catalunya, just a stone's throw from the lake. Over the years, Can Pericus has become a benchmark throughout the Girona region, adapting the classic offering of cured meats and fresh meat of certified origin with a vast assortment of high-quality prepared and cooked dishes. Dozens of customers from the town pass through every day, but also many residents of Girona and Olot who make a special stop each time they visit the lake and take the opportunity to fill their fridges.
