Barcelona: A culinary adventure
Barcelona, considered one of the most visually striking in Europe, is associated mainly with art and architecture. Barcelona is seen as a place to go to the cultural experience. With the culture is food.
From 2005 to 2006 of the Barcelona processor commanded respect when he hosted a celebration of 12 months Exhibition of food products. Since then, Barcelona has not been able to live reputation.
Barcelona has all the leaders in Spain and worldwide, but an appreciation of two qualities - local and fresh bind.
The people of Barcelona such as fish, rabbits, ducks, lamb and natural ingredients such as mushrooms and herbs of Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. If you've never been able to tell when the dishes are made with fresh frozen, a trip to Barcelona will give you the opportunity.
Barcelona heads have a signature style that is unique bond. You will find the couples menus with creative and tasty food such as duck and goose with pears and plums. Poisson nuts are also popular.

Board before leaving
Talking about money, there are some points to consider if the number of Euros, not watch you take off.
If you decide tourism eat You can eat like a tourist. This means that you read lots of authentic food and a little weak.
Lunch, usually served 2 to 4 hours, is the main meal of the premises at the time. If money and the value to you, should be yours too. Most restaurants offer a daily menu may be one of the sweetest deals in Europe. Usually, you get three courses including wine and coffee liqueur for only € 5.50 to € 25.
Dinner at a restaurant can be anything you want to try a night or two. If you plan to eat at restaurants every night, that hope is not a budget traveler.
People come later in Barcelona and enjoy the courses. Dinner starts rarely premises before 9pm.
He was not surprised to find that the portions are small, especially if you eat at a tourist restaurant. Usually the items are a la carte. Therefore, it is possible that you order a meat dish, vegetables, but if you wish, you should ordered separately. When you receive your bill, you can easily amount to € 55 or € 60 per person.
To people like countries do, instead of restaurants for dinner, you select tapas. If the lids should be compared with anything, fast food, would probably be preferable. But the offers are not burgers and fries.
Tapas are small portions of fresh foods that are prepared quickly. An example is tasty garlic prawns (shrimp in garlic). The covers are not designed to help to open. And the experience of the covers is not intended to be held in one place. The idea is to have a dish or two in one place and continue to the next and the next until he was its fill.
Breakfast in Barcelona is far from being an extravagant adventure. For most people, a cup of strong coffee will do. Sometimes people goes for bread or pastries.
