The town of Caldes d'Estrac will begin its 32nd Pesolada on March 20th, a traditional gastronomic festival in the Maresme region dedicated to the local 'gancho' pea.

Nine local restaurants, including the renowned Hispania and Can Suñé, will participate in this edition, offering creative dishes based on this seasonal legume. The event aims to boost local tourism and highlight the quality of regional produce.
The festival schedule includes the 3 Villas Popular Race on March 22nd and various cultural activities at the Fundació Palau. To support visitors, the local council has announced free parking in blue zones from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM throughout the campaign.
This annual celebration combines culinary excellence with the town's thermal heritage and coastal landscape, running through Sant Jordi in April.
