Barcelona and its markets

Barcelona has a wide selection of markets. La Boqueria market on La Rambla is a delight for all the senses with its tempting stalls: colorful displays enveloped in the scent of fresh local and exotic produce. A visit to the lesser-known Mercat Santa Caterina is also worthwhile. Built on the site of the former Santa Caterina monastery, the market hall is a real gem with its original colorful wave-like roof. Far away from the hustle and bustle and crowds of tourists, you can meet locals here, who do their shopping in peace and quiet.

Tapas - committed to tradition

In the heart of the old town district you will find La Plata, one of the most authentic tapas bars in Barcelona. It combines tradition and quality with the aim of giving each tapa the best taste. Since it opened in 1945, it still serves the same four traditional dishes (anchovies with olives, sausage and tomato and onion salad and, finally, fried sardines). The quality of the wines also leaves nothing to be desired and the vermouth is considered the best in the city, a Catalan drink that you can enjoy with a traditional “porró”.

On the beach in Barcelona

The beach, or rather, the beaches in Barcelona are a must! There are a total of six beaches that you have to visit, by day or by night, in summer and winter. From spring to autumn, locals and travelers alike enjoy the sun and sea to the full. People play sports, chill out, eat and party under the stars until the early hours of the morning. Our favorite beaches? Barcelonata, where the Surf House serves excellent cuisine, or the fine sandy beach of Bogatell, one of the quieter beaches in Bardelona. Beach in winter? Ideal for walks or jogging by the sea.

They also serve the best vermut in town, a Catalan drink that they make themselves and which you can drink with a traditional “porró”.
