What’s the first thing I did when I arrived in Barcelona? EAT! With all the travel and time changes, I was super hungry.
We grabbed a spot at an outdoor cafe near our hotel and dug in.
There was a lot to this menu, mostly in Spanish…thank goodness for the english translation, but everything I ordered came from these two pages.
Have a Coke and a smile! I sipped wisely since there aren’t free refills like in the USA.
We started with some Calamari. It was served Andalusian Style. I know this is a region of Spain, but I’m not sure how it effected the calamari. They tasted just like calamari back home in Illinois. Yum!
This next dish was my favorite and I will be taking the idea home with me…Fried Eggs over French Fries. The yolks were runny and you could dip the fry in it. So delicious!
This next dish was comparable to the “bread basket” here in the USA, except it wasn’t free. It was coca bread with tomato spread over it. There was olive oil on the table that I drizzled over the top. Very tasty!
Yummy looking eats!! I've got to try that fried egg over french fries. Holy yum.
So delicious and so easy!
I also like the concept of the fried egg over french fries. It's both novel and familiar at the same time. I remember really liking the food in Barcelona, but it's literally been decades since I visited. I can't wait to hear more about your trip. I hope you see some Gaudi and Parc Guell.
Loved Parc Guell! I will have that coming up and lots more. Thanks for visiting. 🙂
