Among the highlighted novelties is the Calçofest festival, which took place in November, and the launch of the Calçoapp application, a digital tool centralizing information on restaurants, cooked calçot sales points, and bakeries across Catalonia.
“"We want all kinds of people; the calçotada is a family affair, but if we rejuvenate it a bit, all the better."
The festival maintains its classic offerings, such as demonstrations of calçot cooking and the sale of 4,000 tastings. One of the highlights is the calçot eating contest, where this year fourteen men and two women will attempt to consume the maximum quantity of this sweet onion in forty-five minutes.
