Guidebook for Barcelona
Food Scene
Also very recommendable and famous for seafood and Catalan food: Cal Pep in Borne neighborhood. It's normal to have to wait in line at the bar for 30-40min. Really worth it!!! Tell the bald guy Paco or the redhead in glasses Xavi that you are staying with us. We go there all the time and they will treat you well.
A table in the dining room requires advance booking (or luck that day, if there is a cancellation while you wait)
