Delicious Or Disgusting? Spain’s Biggest Snail-Eating Festival
In Lleida, 160 km north of Barcelona, there’s a culinary weekend festival devoted entirely to the humble snail. Three days, around a million snails, and 200,000 snail gourmands – and then endless grilled snails, boiled snails, snail stew, snail rice, snails with sausage or other meat... 102 snail clubs or ’penyas’ gather together at the festival site to sample the shelled gastropods. Lleida’s snail festival is an age-old tradition, and was revived after the Franco dictatorship. In the past, the slimy creatures – known locally as ’caracol’ – were considered peasant fare, but today they’re viewed as a delicacy.
