As any other city, the mission of a traveler is not fulfilled with only visiting places of interest, but checking out the possible activities to participate in such as festivals, parties, visiting popular restaurants and cafes.

Delicious Food

Once you are in Barcelona it’s a good opportunity to try seafood products in some of the best restaurants and cafes of the city. The kitchen trend goes with tapas, pintxos and vermouth. Pintxos are a bite-sized food; they are served with small pieces of bread on the top. It derives from the initial Basque Tapas. To eat the food, you need to use dozens of toothpicks, and most of the bill will cover the toothpicks payment. Eskual Etxea is a perfect place to enjoy pintxos.

For trying tapas, you may go either to a place where patatas  bravas are served with tapas, or you have got the option of visiting tapas bars, to try the local beer as well.

Vermouth hours are a tradition with Barcelona. To keep the tradition on, weekends are a perfect time to meet with local people in search of vermouth places.
