The Merengada of Fat Thursday

Food and drink · Vilanova i la Geltrú, Garraf, Barcelona

Fat Thursday opens the carnival with a meringue battle in the square, after distributing kilos of whipped cream among those present. The custom coexists with the pork-crackling cocas and the omelette typical of the day.
