Barcelona Adventures in Food

Hi Kids, finally a free few minutes with Internet access and I thought I would give you a little culinary tour through our food adventures in Barcelona.

Fried artichokes at Ciudad Comtal. This was our favorite tapas restaurant. If you're ever in Barcelona, it is a block from Placa Catalunya on the corner and is a hub of electricity well after midnight. Highly recommended.




Here are more of the highlights from Ciudad Comtal. We think this is roasted peppers, clams, baby squid, shrimp, and these potato bacon fritter things that became one of our favorites.

Of course, sangria is always a favorite:

More tapas: squid (which look pretty, but were overcooked), olives, and anchovies in vinegar.Tomato bread, olives, and more potato fritter things.

We didn't find a good paella place, so we just stopped in one place on La Rambla. Probably should have ventured further away from the tourist area, but this was a nice taste.

But, we were surely not to go hungry. This is roughly 20% of the breakfast buffet that we enjoyed every morning, complete with fabulous coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice, hot and cold entrees. Yumm

So, great food in Barcelona. If you're ever there, let us know. We're ready to go back.
