Spain: City of Barcelona - Part 2

SPANISH FOOD

There are so many good places to eat in Barcelona but please avoid the touristic restaurants and bars close to the Ramblas. They are expensive and not that good.

– La Bodega Biarritz: my number 1 favorite place to eat. This small and cosy tapas bar has delicious typical Spanish food and it’s cheap. All the tapas are displayed on the counter. There is no complicated menu, you just point at what you want and they’ll prepare it for you. They also have great strawberry mojito’s. If you’re hungry go in time cause there might be a waiting line.

– Senzi: Top quality food. A little bit more expensive but definitely worth it.

– Taller de Tapas: They have a lot of choice and different restaurants spread out in Barcelona.

– La Boqueria: The best market in the world! Here you can find anything you want. Go to the stands in the back or the middle for cheaper prices. There are heeps of tourists and it can be very busy so watch out for pick-pockets!

Nightlife in Barcelona starts late. Bars are open around 10pm until 2 or 3am. The best time to go to the club is around 2am. In Barcelona you don’t have to worry about finding a party. There are heeps of clubs and when the night falls, promoters will leadyou to them. You can go out every night of the week and there is always something to do. Barcelona is the European city that never sleeps.

– Beach: If you want to start your party during the day, go to the beach in summer. There are a lot of bars or just bring your own box of sangria and put on some music. If you’re lazy you don’t even have to get up cause people will come to you and sell you mojitos or beer. Isn’t that great? ! The best place to go is next to the cubes where a lot of promoters and young people hang out. This is the metal artwork in form of cubes piled on each other.

– Leche de Pantera: If you want to drink something you’ve never tried before go to this place. They invented a special alcoholic drink made of milk and liquor. It sounds weird but it’s actually quite tasty.

– Chupitos: A bar where you can choose out of more than 600 chupitos (= shots). A good warm up, for a crazy night. Cause no good story starts with a water, right?

– Sub rosa: A nice and cosy bar close to Plaça reial.

– El cyrrano: Next to Chupitos in the neighborhood Example. If you really wanna get drunk. This bar has self-service so you can make your drink as strong as you want. They also have free popcorn.
