Whereas other cities in Europe are having a gloomy and rainy season, Barcelona gets struck with the spring fever.

It’s time for walks on the beach, sunbathing or enjoying a meal in an open-air terrace. There’s a lot more on offer apart from the city sunshine.

One of the most tempting reasons to spend a weekend in Barcelona during this time is to try the Calçots

Calçots are a Catalan variety of scallion, larger than a typical green onion, and milder, too. They are usually eaten in January, February and March, roasted over a wood fire and accompanied by the special salvitxada sauce, which is similar to romesco sauce.

Our special recommendation is to try them in a XVII century farmhouse, located in Jorge Manrique street (Parc de la Vall d’Hebrón).

The Restaurant Can Travi Nou offers to urban diners a rustic atmosphere where to swap the hustle and bustle of the city for the peace and quiet of the spring nature.

En muchas partes de Europa la primavera sigue siendo lluviosa y gris, en Barcelona empiezan a subir las temperaturas. Se pueden realizar infinidad de paseos por la playa, tomar el sol y disfrutar de una comida al aire libre en una terraza.

Barcelona es un destino ideal para pasar un fin de semana en primavera porque ofrece mucho más que sol. Una de las razones más sorprendentes, es probar una delicia gastronómica de la temporada como los “calçots”. Se trata de un tipo de cebolla preparada sobre una barbacoa que se sirve con una salsa romesco.

Para probar los “Calçots”, recomendamos el Restaurante Can Travi Nou situado en la calle de Jorge Manrique en el Parque de la Vall Hebrón.
