Good reggae vibes in Apolo, when german reggae artist Gentleman played a gig in Barcelona yesterday. The mixed, young audience had no problem singing along his most famous tunes and helped to make it a nice, feel-good evening.

Rather than a normal dish, the calçotada is a happening: specially for this event cultured spring onions are barbecued on an open fire. The way to eat them, is to hold to one end of the onion and draw off the outer, burnt layer with the other hand. The onions are served with a special sauce on the base of tomatoes, almonds and olive oil. Dip and enjoy… yummy! For all the non vegetarians amongst you: This is usually just the first plate before a barbecue style main course, so don’t say no if you ever get invited to a calçotada!
