Great Calçotada Festival In Valls
The Great Calcotada Festival in Valls, Catalonia, Spain, on January 26, 2025, brings together thousands of enthusiasts of this Catalan tradition, where the calcot--a tender green onion cooked over flames and served with romesco sauce--takes center stage. The most thrilling moment is the calcot-eating contest, which crowns Adria Wegrzyn as champion with a remarkable feat of 195 calcots, totaling 3275 grams. Despite his impressive achievement, the world record, set at 310 calcots and 5850 grams, remains unbeaten. The event blends gastronomy, culture, and festivity in the streets of Valls.
