In Spain we love to celebrate! We thus find many reasons to have a national or local holiday, which subsequently means that many restaurants are closed. <\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But there are always those few wonderful underdogs that stay open on Sundays, Mondays, Festes Majors<\/a><\/em> (like this one<\/a> in Gr\u00e0cia) and even during religious holidays.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a visitor to Barcelona, knowing some of those can be extremely useful, because unlike the locals, you likely won’t have the option to cook at home.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As much as we love our tiny family-owned restaurants, many of them are the ones that might close down on important holidays, simply because those often are their only days off. But there are always exceptions. Here are five options of different style restaurants which you can always count on in Barcelona.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
