The art of getting dirty
Next Saturday, March 7, the Plaça Major at Poble Espanyol turns into the heart of one of Catalonia’s most unique traditions: La Calçotada, a festive celebration of food, music, and fun served.
A calçotada is a traditional Catalan event where locals gather to eat calçots (a type of sweet green onion) grilled over open flames and dipped in romesco sauce. It’s messy, social, and a whole lot of fun. At this event, you’ll find grilled calçots, butifarra sausages, wine tastings, a calçot-eating contest, tapas corners, and plenty of opportunities to eat with your hands, get a little messy, and end the day with live music and party vibes.
Some Saturdays are for quick plans, and others are for staying all day with friends, family, or just anyone you meet along the way. It’s part of the ritual: eat without hesitation, share the table, get your hands a little dirty, and let the post-meal fun carry on at its own pace.

Music
The musical touch will be essential: a vinyl DJ set in the morning to set the vibe, and in the afternoon, a great DJ to keep the party going after lunch. Eat, drink, dance, and stay as long as you like.
Come, bebe, baila y quédate todo lo que quieras.
