Foods to try When in Barcelona

Before going Barcelona, I had ultimately no opinion or expectation of Spanish food apart from paella.  Therefore, as sometimes I travel for food just as much as seeing a new place, my curiosity was piqued.  Spain is blessed with weather that provides really fresh food, plus the perfect marriage of traditional cooking and modern pioneers, so I knew I was in for a treat.  One could spend ages eating their way through the city, from tapas bar to tapas bar, but since time will likely not be infinite, here are the items I would not miss….

·      Tapas, tapas, tapas (of all sorts)

·      Paella

·      Gambas al ajillo

·      Jamon Iberico

·      Patatas bravas

·      croquetas

·      Gambas al pil-pil

·      Churros

·      Flan

·      Pimientos de Padron

 This list is not exhaustive, as there are so many beautiful dishes you can find here.  What should be next on my list?
