...and to experience una calçotada. Calçots are a special type of baby leek only grown in this part of the world.
Una calçotada is a gastronomic party typical of Catalunya where the calçots are cooked on the BBQ...
...wrapped in newspaper to allow them to steam and cook some more...
then "skinned"...
...dipped in a salsa...
...then eaten.
As it tends to be rather messy it is better to eat them outside, (and often wearing a bib).
However, this is followed by the remainder of the meal eaten inside...
...once it has been cooked on the embers from the calçots.
Pablo had a rather generous birthday cake...
...which was enjoyed by everyone.
After the meal it's time for a walk and here we discovered yet more of the Via Verde.To see all of the photos, click HERE
