Physical prize roulette at the Besalú festival.

The Festa Major of Besalú will feature a physical roulette wheel for the first time, offering €500 in prizes, an initiative to boost local commerce and the Garrotxa Approp project.

The event will take place on Friday, September 18th, between 5 PM and 7 PM, in Plaça de la Llibertat in Besalú. A physical version of the Garrotxa Approp roulette will be set up for attendees to test their knowledge about the project and win various prizes.
Currently, Besalú has thirteen establishments affiliated with Garrotxa Approp, an application that allows users to accumulate and spend credit within the local commerce network. This action aims to increase awareness of the project in the municipality and encourage residents to take advantage of a tool that helps retain spending in the region and support local businesses.
Garrotxa Approp is an app that enables savings while shopping in the region. Since its launch in late 2020, the project has consolidated its presence, circulating over €14.3 million, with more than 10,400 users and around 115 establishments of all types (shops, services, restaurants, leisure and culture, accommodations) spread across the entire county.
