Hola!Busy in Barcelona...We visited
Our gastronomical experience began with a 'morning food tour' with http://www.aborigensbarcelona.com/ absolutely sensational...a local Catalonian guided us through the markets, a high end chocolatiers & old fashioned bodegas (wine bars). Alex was extremely knowledgable and the food was traditional & tasty...after numerous tastings of fresh produce, Iberian jamon, superb cheeses, fresh fish (cooked on the spot) accompanied by traditional beverages we were well & truly up to pussy's bow...it was the 1st time we'd had sherry with breakfast...Steve summed up the market experience...'every sense got a run...a concophony of sounds, an explosion for the taste buds' we did stop him there...
Things we may never do again... suck the grey matter out of a prawn head...apparently this a Catalonian delicacy ....
