Tapas in Barcelona


Mini squids "en su tinta", "arroz negro", peppers "padrone" with lots of sea salt, "pan con tomate", a  bewildering variety of mushrooms, "esqueixada" of vegetables, smelly cheeses from the Pyrenees, "jamon de bellota", naturally, tuna every which way, plus the odd plate of lentils, and the fried artichokes, and not to forget "la tortilla" (called "truita" in catalan), and the "patatas bravas" and all sorts of "pescaditos" - with a dry white wine from the Penedes and, to top it off, some salty chocolate or a "crema catalana" and, feeling lightheaded, you are off to a delightful shopping afternoon on Paseo de Gracia or Rambla de Catalunya. Names and addresses for the best tapas in Barcelona provided on request.
