Caragols a la llauna is a delicacy of the Catalan region and widely ate around Barcelona. What is Caragols a la llauna? It is grilled or oven-cooked snails. The snails are served with a vinaigrette or aioli dressing. Mayonnaise and garlic are also added to the dish for taste. The L'Aplec del Cargol is a festival held in Catalonia every year that attracts hundreds of thousands of people to dine on snails. While Barcelona is located in Spain, it draws a lot of its food influence from neighboring France. However, snails have long been eaten in Spain as well as France and Italy, with Spaniards eating snails documented back in the 11th century.
