BARCELONA: CARNAVAL, CALÇOTS i EL PARC DEL GUINARDÓ

Barcelona: Carnaval, "calçots" and the Guinardó Park.


Saturday night was the big carnival party. 700 plus people came to the party. Only a few years ago it was nearly a 100 of us, all friends, organizing this big party and now it has grown to a much-talked carnival party. So much so that the options are either Sitges or us. Guess who was wearing the shoes... I read spanish shoe size 42 on the sole!

Dissabte nit: Gran Carnaval organitzat per les panteres grogues al Palacio del Flamenco. Endevineu qui duia les sabates de la foto... Quin mal de peus!!!

El senyor Magí cuinant els calçots!
"Calçots" are a sort of a big spring onion. It is a tradition in Catalonia to eat them charcoal grilled dipped in a delicious sauce called "Romesco".You all must try this sometime!



After the excesses of alcohol and food, there is nothing better than a run up the hill to Guinardó Park. The view is well worth it!

I despues de los excesos del fin de semana, nada mejor que una carrerilla a la cima de la colina del Parc del Guinardó. La vista de Barcelona lo vale!
