Saint Stephen's Day Spain

Saint Stephen's Day is a public holiday in Barcelona and across Spain. On Saint Stephen’s Day (Boxing Day), a relatively recent tradition in Catalonia is to eat cannelloni. Compared with Italian recipes for cannelloni, in the Catalan version the meat is cooked first and then minced. Other traditional Catalan Saint Stephen's Day dishes used to be 'Arròs de la catedral' or 'arròs colls-i-punys', which made use of most of the leftovers from Christmas lunch, until cannelloni became popular in the 19th century.
