For this week’s mini-episode of MyBarcelona, I’m talking about a much-neglected topic on my little blog – the incredible food Spain has to offer!
It’s really a shame that I’m not more of a foodie, but even though my very limited palate may not be able to differentiate between the subtleties of flavors in a perfectly cooked dish, there’s another aspect of Spanish food culture that doesn’t have much to do with the dishes in front of you. And that aspect is that it’s often very social.
So, on that note, let me introduce you to the wonderful art of the Catalan calçotada! I attended my very first one the weekend before this one, and it was really a fun experience. Enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed joining me for the calçots! Thanks to Barcelona Travel Bloggers for organizing the event, and especially to Amadeu and Edgardo for doing all the cooking (go check out their fun travel blogs!).
Also, on a side (but important note), I think I’m finally making the leap and changing my blog name. I’ll have more details about it in a couple days, but it is time to do a remodel. I’ll still be here, it just needed a change!
Adeu, amics!

It’s okay I’m not a foodie either! I actually tend to not really read posts about food or recipes… not because I don’t like food but I really don’t understand anything about food preparation. Just give me the food already prepared and I’ll eat it!
Also excited to see the blog name change. I’ve been thinking about changing mine too, but inspiration has been lacking so far.
Nice! I have always wanted to go to a calçotada, it sounds great. (It’s shameful to say, but I haven’t even tried calçots yet!!) Any chance they are still available mid-April?
Nice video,it looks delicious and good fun,Hope one day to get to a Calcotada,Keep them coming.
Looks like a very interesting and yummy event : )

Always enjoy your videos. No shame in not being big in the food scene. I love food but don’t like it when folks can be pompous.
A new blog name? ooohh. Exciting!
