Calçots eating tradition...

Winter in Barcelona is always lots of fun. Standing a cold that enters through your clothes and all 'northern part of the world' citizins complaining about it ;-), the nice thing Barcelona has is it's traditions, especially the gastronomic ones...

This year again the famous 'calçots' are eaten by many during the typical sunday afternoon family lunches. Calçots are the political family of the onion. Unlike the onion's fat and wide shape, the calçot is long, thin and mostly green. It has a sweet taste and is prepared on coal. The calçots are eaten with the hands and with romesco sauce. You can eat calçots during one of the many calçotadas organized by the locals and by local restaurants. Normally you will have to move to the outskirts of the city of Barcelona.

It is well worth it though! For excursions, ask your Barcelona Specialist
