Grilled artichokes with Romesco sauce are a must-try in Catalonia, especially when artichokes are at their peak in winter and early spring. Slowly charred over an open flame, they take on a smoky depth, while the nutty, garlicky Romesco (made with roasted peppers, almonds, and olive oil) adds a rich, tangy contrast. Simple, seasonal, and packed with flavour—just how we like it!

If you haven’t tried torrijas, you’re missing out on one of Spain’s most indulgent desserts. Traditionally eaten during Semana Santa (Easter week) though now widely enjoyed throughout the year, these golden, cinnamon-scented slices of bread are soaked in milk, then fried and dusted with sugar. Some versions even include a topping of honey, a splash of sweet wine, or a dollop of crema catalana! What’s not to love?

A goats cheese salad may seem simple, but in Catalonia, it’s a beautiful performance of local ingredients. Catalan goats cheese is known for its creamy texture and tangy flavour, thanks to the region’s artisan cheesemakers. Paired with fresh greens, candied nuts, and sweet touches like honey or balsamic glaze, it’s a dish that perfectly balances the bold and delicate flavours of Catalan cuisine.

In Barcelona, vermouth isn’t just a drink—it’s a ritual. The tradition of "fer el vermut" (to have vermouth) dates back to the 19th century when locals gathered before lunch for a glass of this aromatic, spiced fortified wine. Today, it’s a central part of Catalan dining culture, often enjoyed with olives, anchovies, chips or lighter tapas.

Patates d’Olot hail from the town of Olot in Catalonia, a region known for its culinary creativity. These crispy, golden potato rounds are mixed or stuffed with savoury minced meat, then fried to perfection. What sets them apart? The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the fluffier flavourful filling. A local favourite that’s still relatively unknown outside Catalonia, making it a must-try dish when in Barcelona!

Did you know flan dates back to Ancient Rome? Originally made with eggs and milk, it evolved during the Moorish era with the addition of caramel, becoming the creamy dessert we know today. In Spain, it’s a classic post-meal treat, with regional twists like coffee flan in Valencia or cheese flan in the Basque Country. Its silky texture and caramelised top make it an irresistible finish to any tapas feast.

Albóndigas, Spain’s beloved meatballs, have a rich history dating back to the Moorish influence in the Iberian Peninsula. The word itself comes from the Arabic "al-bunduq", meaning "small round object." While typically made with beef or pork in a rich tomato-based sauce, you’ll find regional variations across Spain—from seafood albóndigas in Andalusia to spiced versions in Catalonia. Perfect for sharing, they’re a comfort food staple with deep cultural roots.

The shortest night of the year is upon us! In Barcelona, we celebrate this with our Revetlla de Sant Joan, AKA “Nit del Foc” (literally: night of fire), a public holiday known for parties, fireworks and a fantastic atmosphere. Fireworks are also set off in the streets – and so we close for two days to watch from a safe distance!!

Saturday morning sees the *195th* parade through the Sant Antoni neighbourhood for the “Tres Tombs” (10.30am, Paral·lel & C/ Tamarit). Dating back to the 1400s this three-lap procession celebrates farmers, domestic animals & their Patron Saint: Saint Anthony Abbot. Watch horses, ponies, donkeys, mules and more stroll by, as well as locals bringing their pets to be anointed by holy water at L’Escola Pia Sant Antoni Church (Ronda de Sant Pau 72). Thank you, farmers, thank you, animals! Y’all make local Catalan cuisine pretty top notch!

This weekend why not enjoy a pork festival – yes you read right! The latest addition to the annual Sant Antoni festivities in the Clot neighbourhood of Barcelona is a celebration of pig meat! St Anthony was after all the patron saint of domesticated animals and farmers… Sat 18 Jan: head to the Plaza del Mercado del Clot from 11am onwards for kids’ activities, tapas tastings and general merriment, and in the evening (8.30pm) a very special correfoc (“fire-run”) with pigs! Now this is a cultural event that surely cannot be rivalled. Oink oink!

Maresme Coast Taste-testing
