These culinary delights are a fundamental part of Spanish gastronomic culture and are very popular in the city. Tapas can include a variety of dishes, such as “patatas bravas”, “tortilla de patatas”, “gambas”, “anchoas”, “calamares a la romana”, and “pulpo a la gallega”, among others.

Tapas are not a complete meal, but rather a snack, a small portion of anything that is usually served with a drink. Eating tapas is much more than eating, it represents a lifestyle, it is a social activity, a way to bring people together to chat, laugh and enjoy the variety of local dishes.

“Tapear” is to take a route through the bars and have a drink with a tapa each time. In Barcelona, “ir de tapas”, unlike in Madrid, is more about going to a bar or tavern that we like and eating and drinking whatever we want. unlike in Madrid, is more about going to a bar or tavern that we like and eating and drinking as much as we want.
Any time is a good time for tapas tasting. Some people usually go to eat tapas between 17h and 20h, before dinner. However, many people go for tapas at noon, before lunch, especially on weekends or vacations.

What tapas we will taste

Pan con Tomate: The quintessential Catalan tapa. White bread rubbed with tomato and drizzled in oil and salt. A perfect accompaniment to the rest of your tapas.

Patatas Bravas: The fried potatoes of Spain. Small fried cubes of potato served with two sauces – alioli (a garlic mayonnaise) and a spicy tomato sauce.

Chipirones: I have never seen these fried squid outside of Spain. They are small and you will get a plate full of them.

Anchovies: These anchovies are not normally the very salty type you may be used to. They are served in vinegar with parsley and garlic. Delicious.

Russian Salad: Not the healthiest of salads. It is a heavy dish composed of potatoes, peas, hard boiled eggs and other vegetables, covered with mayonnaise.

Croquettes: Croquettes are often made with ham, fish, chicken or spinach. They are made of a kind of béchamel sauce, breaded and fried.

All accompanied by a good beer, one of the great Spanish wines or your favorite soft drink.
