Day one - 1.30pm: A short stroll seawards from here will take you to Tapaç24 (0034 93 488 09 77; carlesabellan.com), one of the city’s best tapas bars, but get here well before 2pm for a seat.
Everything is top notch - venue, service, food. Each course delighted more than the last. Appreciated the somolier "down selling" to a more appropriate wine to better match our food order.
Quimet must be one of Earth's greatest tapas experiences. If you only have a day to live, this is where you must spend you final hours.
Run by head chef Carme Ruscalleda, a female catalan chef, who is the only woman in the world to have a total of 5-michelin stars to her name.
Very busy, award-winning little bar/restaurant in the middle of a bustling market. Try the chipirones - beyond delicious
El mejor restaurante mexicano de Barcelona y parte del extranjero! Comida excelente. Trato inmejorable. Un diez, sin duda.
Authentic tapas bar in the heart of Ciutat Vella. Standing room only! Order the el Solomillo con foie, you won’t be dissapointed.
La bomba and Calamari were awesome and artichokes is a must as well. Great atmosphere and friendly service. This year is their 70th anniversary, so that tells you how authentic this place is!
Great paella .. Go for the negro Arosa with artichokes and wild mushrooms .. Sangria is great
The regulars love the pickled mackerel, blood-pudding meatballs with cuttlefish, and braised oxtail. Mehr erfahren.
Great breakfast options with a great garden view - presentation of food looks fantastic - service a bit slooooow :)
Icecreams signed by the michelin stars' chef Jordi Roca. You must try this place at least once. A famous one is the icecream sandwich: outsite hot bread, and inside delicious and soft icecream.
Incredible, authentic tapas in an awesome little venue. The squid ink croquettes and crispy beef and foie gras were amazing
Amazing place, packed by locals and very chaotic, prepare to fight for your seats. Ask for vermouth, patata con carne, crab claws and, well, pretty much everything else.
W hotels are cropping up all over Europe this year, but W Barcelona was the first and still the best. Located right on the sand, you can move effortlessly from beach to bar come sunset. Mehr erfahren.
