Escudella i Carn d’Olla<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Barcelona’s version of winter stew is an absolute must-try during the cold months of the year! The first documented soup in Europe, original recipes date back to the 14th century. It was something the citizens of Catalonia ate every day! Expect to find it served in two courses. The first, the broth with noodles or rice, and second, a selection of meats and vegetables that made the broth, including an enormous meatball pilota.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
