Gran Festa de Calçots in Valls

Every year on the last Sunday of January, the Gran Festa de Calçots takes place in the town of Valls. Calçots (spring onions) are a typical Catalan dish. On all the squares of the town, they are completely blackened over large fires until they are done. Then the 'calçotada' begins and they are eaten, by the crowd that has gathered, after the outer skin has been removed, with a delicious romesco sauce. This is of course accompanied by lots of cava, happiness and local folklore! It is the start of the Calçot season, which lasts until Easter.
