Opinion What you must taste in Barcelona Israel today

It's too short to tell about one of the most vibrant and delicious cities in Europe.

If we pretend to write about all the places that must be visited, all the things that must be seen and all the delicacies that must be tasted in Barcelona, ​​a whole encyclopedia about the city will come out.

For those who have not yet had the opportunity to visit the capital of Catalonia, we will recommend some must-see places, which together tell the delicious story of the city.

The basis of Catalan cuisine is quite simple.

Basic and individual ingredients in each dish using short cooking techniques such as frying, roasting and grilling.

The tapas - small dishes that here are common to see on pub menus at an exorbitant price, while there it is common to assemble a whole meal from them at an affordable price - go well with a cold beer and you can find them in a variety of shapes and colors on every corner.

Crazy churros.

Cafe de l'Opera,

The traditional tapas restaurant "Cervaseria Catalana" is a pilgrimage site, and rightly so.

It is big, bright and full of life.

There is no attempt to innovate here, all the dishes are classic and as usual - except that they are tastier.

Whether because of the choice of excellent raw materials, or because of the precision of the seasoning and technique, this is one of the best tapas restaurants in Barcelona, ​​and even in Spain as a whole.

Even a simple dish such as pan con tomat (bruscatta marinated in fresh tomato and olive oil Catalan style) can be made glorious here.

The small fish are fried to a delightful crispiness, the traditional croquettes plump and tender.

It is important to note that the restaurant is always full, and the line is always long, so it is recommended to try to make a reservation, but even if you don't succeed - stand in line and don't give up on the experience.

When you are already inside, it is recommended to spread a bunch of tapas dishes on the table and taste everything from everything.

If you've made it this far, don't miss Casa Mia and Casa Batio, the two marvelous works of the architect Gaudí, without which a visit to Barcelona is incomplete, and which are just a short walk away.

The one who challenged and redefined the character of the city, was excited to do so in her heart as well.

The entrance fee to the two buildings, which are fascinating in their design, is at tourist prices, but you can be satisfied and be impressed by them from the outside, an experience not to be missed.

Every travel guide in Barcelona will include the Boqueria market, the most famous market in Barcelona, ​​which is not coincidentally also adjacent to the La Rambla tourist area.

Instead of getting lost among the multitude of options on the market, we will recommend Kiosco Universal.

There is nothing like walking aimlessly between stalls and choosing one bite to taste in each of them.

But if you still desire an orderly sit-down and an exemplary lunch, navigate your way straight to the kiosk.

Here too, you will probably have to wait for a free seat, but the wait is worth it, since everything that comes out under the hands of the cooks in the open and energetic kitchen is wonderful.

A host of dishes simply seasoned with olive oil, salt and garlic, freshness being the key word.

Countless fried from the plant and in general.

A variety of chilled wines and cold and sage beer.

perfect.

Pan con tomato at "Cervaseria Catalana",

Don't have the patience to wait for a seat at the kiosk in the market?

Try your luck at Dos Pebrots, a short distance away.

The restaurant's chef, creative and kicking, adopted the tradition of Catalan cuisine, while giving each dish its own interpretation.

The entire menu ranges from old to new without straying away from the original.

Here you can enjoy a sophisticated dish of hafa meat alongside dried, salted and smoked meats and fish, or a dish of cooked vegetables preserved in olive oil and vinegar.

Along with the use of raw materials from around the world such as Italian strecchatella and trendy procedures such as garom (fish sauce) and fermentation.

Of course we won't give up dessert.

Cafe de l'Opera next to the market is also a well-known and visited institution.

Here we will recommend you to make a sweet and tasty athanatha in the form of the beloved Spanish churros.

The churros here are not too sweet and complement the dipping with thick and velvety chocolate.

Rocambolesc is the ice cream shop of the Catalan pastry chef Jordi Roca, the third side of the famous Roca brothers.

In the amusing, colorful and seductive boutique, Jordi finds another outlet for his tireless work.

The products are seasoned with a lot of humor, and here you will also find popsicles in the shape of a nose, finger, hand and more.
