Black and white pictures of calçots in Catalonia can evoke a range of feelings and emotions. 

Nostalgia: The timeless quality of black and white photography can transport viewers back to simpler times, evoking memories of traditional calçotadas and family gatherings.

Elegance: The absence of color can highlight the textures and forms of the calçots, giving them a refined and sophisticated appearance.

Melancholy: The monochrome palette can sometimes impart a sense of wistfulness or longing, perhaps for past celebrations or the warmth of community events.

Focus: Without the distraction of color, viewers might pay more attention to the details and craftsmanship involved in preparing and cooking calçots, appreciating the cultural significance and tradition.

Contrast: The stark contrasts in black and white images can emphasize the rustic and earthy nature of calçots, highlighting their simplicity and the beauty of the Catalan countryside.

A calçot is a type of green onion native to Catalonia, Spain, particularly famous in the town of Valls. Calçots are milder and less bulbous than regular onions, with a long white stem that is achieved by repeatedly covering the growing shoots with soil.

The traditional way to enjoy calçots is during a calçotada, a festive event where they are grilled over an open flame until the outer layers are charred. They are then wrapped in newspaper to steam, peeled, and dipped in a special sauce like romesco before being eaten. This celebration typically takes place between November and April.
