đŞđ¸ Barcelona's best seafood rice đĽ
đ¤ El Glop, Barcelona: Paella Perfection Steps from Sagrada FamĂlia Just a 10-minute walk from Sagrada FamĂlia (look for the storefront in pic 4!), this spot is a seafood loverâs dream. Even as two girls still full from afternoon desserts, we left already planning our returnâhereâs why. đ The Game-Changing Seafood Paella Letâs talk about the paella. So many in Spain are undercooked or overly salty, but El Glop nails it. The rice? Fluffy, flavorful, and not hard. The seafood? Abundant. Every forkful has shrimp, clams, or tender fishâso fresh, a single bite of that sweet, juicy shrimp had me floating. (Pro tip: Order by the number of peopleâno wasted food, just perfect portions.) Iâm a total seafood fanatic, and even I thought, âMore? Yes, please.â đŚ đ Galician-Style Octopus: A Sweet-Savory Masterpiece This dish deserves all the stars. The octopus? Incredibly tenderâno rubbery texture here. Served with sweet, ripe pineapple, itâs a match made in heaven: briny, smoky octopus balanced by the fruitâs juiciness. My friend? She polished off the entire pineapple portion. Canât blame herâitâs that good. đ đ Why Itâs a Must Whether youâre visiting Sagrada FamĂlia or exploring Eixample, this is a no-brainer. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot-on, and itâs affordable enough to satisfy even the biggest appetites. El Glop, Carrer de València, 443, 08013 Barcelona We left full but greedyânext time, weâre coming with empty stomachs. This place is worth every bite. #BarcelonaPaella #SeafoodHeaven #NearSagradaFamilia
