Cooking a delicious “tapa” at la Barceloneta!

inquiets — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:55:03 +0000

We have had some rainy days lately in Barcelona…
That’s why we thought we needed to remember our walk through la Barceloneta in summer.
The sand, the beach, the warm weather… and the “tapas”!
In this episode, we enter the kitchen and learn how to prepare… Wait for it…
Anchovie’s fried backbone!
It may seem food for cats…
But taste it, and discover how delicious it can be!

Chocolate at Petritxol street

And you thought it’s always hot in Barcelona? Not in winter…
But I have the perfect remedy: a hot and delicious chocolate at Petritxol street!
This narrow street next to les Rambles has some chocolate bars where you must stop by.
Moreover, take a look at the ceramics on the walls, where you will discover details about the city’s and its people’s history. And of course, don’t forget visiting the art galleries, bookshops and original shops along the street.
And believe me, there is nothing better than a chocolate with “churros” in a cold evening at Petritxol.
Highly addictive!

El pica-pica

Maybe summer is finished, but in Barcelona we can still enjoy a lot of sunny days!
And there is no better way to do it than having a delicious “pica-pica” with friends or family…
You don’t know what “fer el pica-pica” means? Really easy!
Imagine olives, spicy potatoes, some iberian products and a cold beer or a vermouth. Yes, that’s it!
And there are a lot of terraces and bars in the city waiting for you.
Actually, I’m feeling hungry … I want some “patates braves” now!

PS. Remember the delicious apperitive we had at la Barceloneta here!

Pa amb tomàquet

inquiets — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:00:37 +0000

“Pa amb tomàquet” or bread with tomatoe, is a tipical catalan dish. Fresh, natural, and no cook needed.

Ingredients:
- Bread
- Tomato
- Oil
- Salt

How to:
Take the bread, cut the tomato in two halfs and crush it against the bread so that it permeates sliding.
Finally use oil and salt.

So easy and tasty…

If you ask for a sandwich of ham or “butifarra” in Barcelona I’m sure it has this kind of sauce on it.

Where to eat a good sandwich with “pa amb tomàquet”?
Maybe at La Flauta, Quebo!, or Bar Fidel. But any bar could be nice.
