This festive gathering often takes place in spring, where friends and family come together to enjoy grilled calçots, typically served with romesco sauce. The event has become a cultural staple in Catalonia, symbolizing community and the joy of seasonal produce. As calçots have gained popularity, variations of the dish can now be found in many parts of Spain and beyond.
