The world's most amazing flower carpets, covering whole streets and visible only for one day!
This week, we will show you the most spectacular flower display with whole streets adorned in highly decorated floral displays. People were up through the night to make them and they only last one day! But first, a quick demo of an authentic Catalan recipe, with Camilla and her sister Emma in the kitchen at the Magical Modernist Mansion, showing how to make a special seafood salad, Xató in just 8 minutes (recipe below). You will also meet some impressive giants... Find out what Camilla especially loves about one of these impressive figures. Yes, that's right, the eyelashes and guy liner! And finally, they discover the most classy campsite in all of Spain - although Ollie does have a little accident. Stay tuned to find out!

For the Xató sauce
Roast three tomatoes and half a bulb of garlic for 20 minutes at 180 fan - except one garlic clove, which should be peeled and placed in a mini food blender raw.
Add to the blender 100g hazelnuts with the skin and 100g of blanched almonds and blend all until crunchy.
Now set this aside to clear space in the mini blender.
Add the roasted tomatoes, garlic, flesh of the ñura peppers, 3 tablespoons of black olive oil (ideally from Aragon but not essential), one desert spoon of raw apple cider vinegar, half a teaspoon of himalayan rock salt and blend into a smooth paste.
Now add the nut mix and roughly blend for a few more seconds to combine.
Add some of the water from the peppers as required to make a smooth sauce.
For the salad:
Tear into chunks the endive salad leaves
Sprinkle over your salted cod, 5 roughly chopped jarred artichokes, 30g of black olives, one tin of tuna with its olive oil, one tin of anchovies also with its oil and now add the ZatSalad endives (crisp curly salad) anchovies, tuna cod and spoon over some xató sauce.
Finally, sprinkle over chopped spring onions
Camping was at Kampaoh, Tarragona, Costa Dorada
The celebration of the feast of Corpus Christi at Sitges happens every year in spring. The highlight of the festivity takes place on the feast day itself, when the local residents create carpets of petals from carnations and other flowers. A jury awards prizes to the best carpets. Later, the procession of the Holy Sacrament passes over these works of art. The Corpus Christi festivities also include other the National Carnation Exhibition, the Bonsai Exhibition, the Floral Decoration of Façades and Balconies Competition and the Giants Parade.

I remember the Corpus Christi flower festival ... many years ago. I'm inspired to go back again now. So beautiful.
What a beautiful tradition of paving the street with flowers of art. Beautiful and breathtaking. Thank you for the fun.

Thank you. Yes, it is such a beautiful and creative tradition. We were so pleased to be able to share it with you all. 💖
The gigants are Sant Bartomeu and Santa Tecla, the patron saints of Sitges. In the afternoon there is a church procession that marches through the flower pattern of the long street you showed. Sometimes kids follow behind and have flower fights with the petals. In my opinion the best time to come is first thing in the morning- you can see some of the designs already finished, but many happen just that morning so you see the process. Btw, the house Emma loves is divided into several apartments now. ;)

Those floral carpets are stunning! What a beautiful tradition, it's a pity it's only for one day, isn't it? Love the glamping site, it's very classy, and that beautiful beach just tops it off!
Thank you for the lovely Glamping experience. The Oleanders around the camping grounds looked pretty and colourful. Loved those Floral Carpet displays, so artistic and beautiful. Lots of patience and dedication needed to make them. 😇💐

The glamming looked idyllic; thank you for taking us along.
Those flowers were actually very beautiful! I think the glamping looked a lot more fun. I can't believe you actually get a real bed!
I'm falling more and more in love with Spain! So many beautiful places, things and people. Ollie, you should paint Camilla in her " long flowing dress" on one of those amazing flower carpets. ❤Glamping makes me smile. When dating my now husband, we would go camping. I insisted on bring a huge inflatable mattress, linen sheets and feather comforter. I know he thought " oh, she's high maintenance😂" but after sleeping on that bed, he always wanted the "cushy" bed along our trips❤
Roasted elephant garlic is yummy on fresh bread. It’s so sweet.

Full credit to both of you for going camping. I am not brave enough and would vastly rather stay home than endure the rigours of a campsite. Though this one did look much nicer, far beyond anything I have ever seen. Fun video and thank you for creating it. Have an amazing week!

?Fabulous vlog! The flower walks were amazing, the architecture is so unique and the glamping looked heavenly, tents, palm trees waving plus the ocean. I have one question before I book for next year, "were there any flys, bugs, or mosquitoes joining you all"? I somehow missed the authentic Catalan dish ? I only saw Camilla mashing avocados?

Hi guys. Great vlog as always. Where was that campsite? Loved it!
❤❤❤❤❤
I loved this. It was so beautiful n interesting. Could you possibly give us just a wee bit of history about something like the flower festival and the two figures? When and why was it begun and who do the two figures represent? Unless of course its all a very new tradition and the figures represent no one. The Xato looked scrumptious. Can you tell us anything about it historically or culturally? Just a little?

The giants are Sant Bartomeu and Santa Tecla, the patron saints of Sitges. The festival of Corpus Christie is a Catholic celebration and is celebrated by Catholics everywhere and includes special church services and processions. I am not sure where the tradition of flower petals carpeting the streets for this festival in Stiges originated. In our previous episode where we visited the castle we talk a little bit more about the Xato which is a traditional local dish. Each local village has their own variation of it💖

Very interesting cooking demo, tour of Sitges flower carpets, and glam ping by the sea. Where is the glamping town and name of the resort, please?
Where is that campsite ? Looked wonderful , right up my street 😊.
You should see the flower carpet on the Grand Place in Brussels. That is far more impressive.
When did you roast the peppers? I saw them go into water... boiled then, not roasted.
No kettle😂😅❤😊

Camilla, you had me until you added the tuna, sardines, anchovies and the oil too. Oh no, I couldn't. I've eaten them all individually, but never together. I think I'd prefer shrimp, scallops and some calamari sautéed in EVOO and fresh garlic. Sprinkle liberally with Spanish olives.

All the local villages have their own variations on the salad, so it think it is good to try different combinations to suit your own tastes. Your version sounds delicious too. 💖💖
