The Carnaval de Sitges (Sitges Carnival) tastes of Xató de Sitges (a traditional winter salad). It tastes of that orange-coloured sauce made with hazelnuts, almonds and oil. And it tastes of cod, anchovies, curly endive and black olives. A flavour that is celebrated in a competition on Carnival Sunday, when adults and children compete in this traditional event held in the Jardins del Casino Prado (Casino Prado Gardens). Can you come and watch it? Of course! And take part too, eh!

Xató de Sitges tasting

You should know that if you head to the Jardins del Casino Prado (Casino Prado Gardens) on the day of the Concurs de Mestres Xatonaires (Xató Masters Competition), you won’t just be able to enjoy the skill of adults and children when preparing this salad, but you can then taste it during the musical vermouth that usually closes the event. Furthermore, you’ll be able to see the jury’s verdict live, which assesses the presentation of the dish, the adherence to the traditional recipe, originality and, of course, the flavour.
