Classics
- Los Caracoles

Barcelona classic, nice ‘ambiente’, very touristic, prices maybe a bit to high for what they offer, but you get the whole spanish experience, crossing the kitchen when entering the restaurant, always packed with people, hams hanging from the ceiling. - CervecerÃa Catalana
My favorite tapas place - Senyor Parellada
