Barcelona: A Food Paradise, Barcelona, Spain

Normally I鈥檓 a huge proponent of solo travel. You can go wherever you like, and eat whenever and whatever you want. But when it comes to Spain, it鈥檚 much more fun for your stomach if you go with a group of friends. There are numerous tapas dishes to try and you can鈥檛 eat them all if you鈥檙e by yourself!

Barcelona has the most incredible dishes that will amuse and delight your taste buds, from paella and the various grilled seafood dishes, to the undisputed champion of cured meats 鈥� Iberico jamon. Locals eat a really late dinner so that鈥檚 good news for travelers who are used to eating around 7 p.m. You will have no problems getting a table without reservations if you arrive at the restaurant around 7 to 8 p.m., even during the peak summer season.

These are the restaurants I absolutely loved when I visited Barcelona. If you are planning a trip there, do add these to your list!

This small family-owned tapas bar is situated along one of the narrow lanes of the charming neighborhood of El Borne. Since 1929, El Xampanyet has been serving locals and visitors traditional Catalan tapas and it鈥檚 one of the most popular and well-loved restaurants in the city. Be warned that it gets聽really聽packed so be sure to arrive right when it opens and you will get a table easily. The kitchen is tiny! There鈥檚 only one chef and if you sit close to the kitchen, he鈥檒l personally deliver the food fresh from the grill. From that tiny kitchen comes the most delicious tapas from meat to seafood dishes. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
