- 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.

The beauty of the flowers, food and beach have to compete with Camilla in that bright green dress!
Thank you 💖💖💖
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. 💖
Now that's how I would like to camp
I remember the Corpus Christi flower festival ... many years ago. I'm inspired to go back again now. So beautiful.
Beautiful green dress Camilla
What a Fabulous Campsite Ollie. Beautiful Flowers. Xx 😘
I love seeing you with your sister. Fun times!
Thank you. It is so lovely for me to have her to stay 🥰
Roasted elephant garlic is yummy on fresh bread. It’s so sweet.
Mmmmmm delicious!
The glamming looked idyllic; thank you for taking us along.

that’s my kinda camping ⛺️ 🌴
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. ;)
Thank you for the added information, 😊
Thank you so much ! 🥇😗🤗
Thank you for sharing the additional information. I would have loved to see the children having flower fights with the petals 🥰💖
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!
I'm crying. Ollie vs the wave. The wave won
I think the duck dragon was a phoenix !
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!
Such a lovely episode! The flower carpets were absolutely gorgeous and would I ever love to go glamping there! Fantastic place.🥰🇨🇦
💖💖💖
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❤
My mother used to tells us all about the flower carpets, no wonder Sitges was her favourite place. The glamping looks amazing and that beach!
How lovely that you are now able to see the flower carpets that your mum talked about. 💖
Now that’s a salad! The MMM XATO could become our new summer favorite for picnics this year. You have been sharing so many wonderful delights from your new “neck of the woods” with us and this video didn’t did not disappoint! The streets filled with flowers was spectacular as was the glamping tent. Thanks again! 🌸🌼🌺
Thank you 💖💖💖
Life changed, y’all. Very inspired to make this and more Spanish…Thank you!!

In the carpet of flowers what would be the neutral color? Crushed hay?

Thank you Jacqueline 💖💖💖
Lovely holiday place 😊
Beautiful flowers, lovely seeing them use the whole flower head ,not just the petals. Giving it a 3-D effect . I have never gone camping but your glamping looked tempting lovely place.
As s child we camped every summer. The last time I went camping it was in a teepee in Southern Alberta at "Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump. It was great fun.
Ollie, Avene thermal water will make that burn go away nicely. 🙂🇨🇦
Will have to give that a try
Love you two, your vlogs make me happy 😊x
A delicious vlog. You are surpassing yourselves!
Another fun one focusing on the lovely local area. How lucky you are ❤
💖💖💖
It’s always such a lot of fun to go along with you on these videos!
Thank you for joining us Paulette 💖💖
The Xato sauce looks amazing. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
Thank you. It tasted delicious. It is such fun experimenting with local recipes, we can learn such a lot. Food plays such a part in local culture. 🙂💖
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!
Thank you Daniel. It was definitely glamping rather than camping, so didn't feel like a hardship at all. 🙂💖💖
Wow!
This was a lovely vlog. Thanks for taking us along. I love the glamping. You're lucky, guys. Great recipe, too.❤
You two crack me up with your poshness ❤❤
?
Such a lovely vlog! Thankyou 😊
What a beautiful vlog, it was so relaxing to watch. The flowers were truly works of art. That glamming site was fabulous . Xx🇨🇮
Thank you Sheila 💖
I wonder what the history of the display is? And the symbolism of the different designs? Wonderful.
And very conceptual art in a way,like Andy Goldworthy. Of the moment. Although more cultivated obviously.
Love the camping site and the beach is stunning
Great salad making video! Always enjoy each vlog, they are full of fun sights, culture, humor, just life well enjoyed. Saludos.
Thank you 💖
You're all nuts! Another fabulous vlog, beautiful food, glamping and fun.
So enjoy watching you guys! Thank you!❤
So enjoying your channel!
Those flower displays are stunning.
Madeira flower festival do something similar to this flower carpet, spectacular.
Really nice vlog you two...on a very regular basis you are my favorite vlog of the week!!!
Thank you 💖💖💖
This Catalan sauce is in the Romesco family of sauces. Looks delicious.
I've layedover in Barcelona a few times now, and I see Spain/the area in a whole new light through your vlogs! Wow, those floral carpets are unbelievable.
Thank you 💖
I’ll be in Barcelona for three days in October, tell me what I absolutely can not miss please.
hey guys, another great video. Emma is so good on camera!
I would have liked if you had given some information about the history, meaning and significance of the flower carpets and it relation with Corpus Christi celebrations in Spain. Thank you, and keep up with the good work. that the flower carpets are
That salad looks delicious 🥰
It really was! 💖 Maybe you should give it a try too☺
The flowers are amazing. I have never seen anything like it.
I have seen flower carpets down the ailses of our old churches, fundraising events, in England. . Talented helpers.
@@geniawheddon7402 Yes. I have also seen smaller flower petal designs on Saints Days in local churches in England, but nothing on this scale. It was quite something!!!
Hiya Lovlies Thankyou for sharing wow a full packed video fabulous as I replayed several moments. Will like below soo my comment is not a novel lol. Will say loving your fashion choices Camilla. Blessings Luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
Thank you Beverley 💖💖💖
You should try our beach. Water flowing up from Antarctica to the South Island. Our seas are very cold with huge waves.
The flower displays were absolutely amazing. I would love to see them one year. Your camping looked so glamorous and comfortable. ❤ 🏕
If you are ever in this area during the time of the festival of Corpus Christie they are really worth visiting 💖
What a fabulous campsite!
WOW what a fantastic vlog, salad, flower show ang glamping! Could you please say where is this Glamping?
Wonderful food and thank you to share the lovely trip ❤❤❤
Thank you 💖💖💖
Such a fun and pretty video. LOVE the new salad. Can you tell me where the Camping spot is? Would love to go, not that far for me.
Hi guys. Great vlog as always. Where was that campsite? Loved 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?
I always enjoy your videos, great salad, love the street flowers, & camping looks almost idyllic! Also loving the videos with Stephanie, very spectacular! John in Monmouth x
Thank you John 💖
?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? Thanks for taking me along, I loved it. Marianne, Chicago.
It is the Mediterranean cost.
The insects aren't too bad generally but there are mosquitos so it is worth wearing insect repellent when you visit during the summer. 💖
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💖
@@MagicalModernistMansion Thank you very much for taking time to explain that. I understand it better now and that makes it even more interesting for me.
It was a Phoenix
Where is that campsite ? Looked wonderful , right up my street 😊.
Where is this camp site please?just found it
Kampoah Tarragona
No kettle😂😅❤😊
When did you roast the peppers? I saw them go into water... boiled then, not roasted.
❤❤❤❤❤
You should see the flower carpet on the Grand Place in Brussels. That is far more impressive.
that xato looks delicious! the flowers are wonderful. you have very good taste in houses emma! i'm with camilla would love to walk in bare feet over all those lovely flowers before they get tossed. you know i love me some stiges!!!
Thank you Charmaine 💖💖💖
Yes Camilla, stroll............. barefoot!!!
Bit better than graffiti!
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. 💖💖
🥰🇨🇦
What a hoot! A campsite with palm trees. Never
