What we sayLanguage
Catalan and SpanishGràciesthank you
Barcelona’s food starts in its markets, where stalls piled with seafood, wild mushrooms and cured meats feed both home cooks and chefs. Catalan cooking blends the sea and the mountains, and even the simplest dish, bread rubbed with tomato and olive oil, is treated as a point of pride.
Catalonia has long been a laboratory for modern cuisine, and Barcelona’s most inventive restaurants carry that legacy forward. Yet the everyday pleasures remain the best: vermouth before lunch, tapas in a tiled bar, and seafood rice by the beach.
Beyond the city, the Penedès vineyards produce cava, the Costa Brava offers fishing villages and coves, and Girona’s medieval old town sits less than an hour away.
Insider tip from Richard
Richard Gruica, your host
Skip the big boulevard for dinner. Head into the side streets of the old town and order pa amb tomàquet with everything.
