Barcelona is home to some of the best food in the world, from home-made to high-end! We’re going to focus on the classic Catalan dishes in this post and tell you about 5 of our\u00a0must-try foods in Barcelona.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sounds simple, right? It is. One of the best foods in Barcelona is so simple that we almost didn’t include it on this list. But the point we’d like to make here is that with Catalan food<\/a> (and Spanish food in general)\u00a0it is the simplicity that makes the food so perfect.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For pan con tomate<\/em>, you need the best quality bread, garlic, tomatoes and olive oil for this typical Catalan snack. First, take your toasted bread and rub raw garlic on it. You don’t need to have peeled the garlic first, most people don’t bother. Then, cut your tomato in half, locals use the delicious\u00a0tomato called Tom\u00e0tiga de\u00a0Ramellet<\/em> and squeeze it as you run it over the bread. Next, drizzle your creation with the best quality extra virgin olive oil<\/a> and top with a sprinkle of sea salt. When you take the first bite you will understand the base of Catalan cuisine and why we love it so much!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
