Barcelona Foodie Guide

Day 1: Hit up Local Tapas—proof that Google Reviews don’t lie! ⭐4.8 with 5K+ reviews, and every single dish was amazing. Day 2: Visited La Boqueria Market (closed Sundays). Hot takes: The 5J Iberico ham was too intense for me—opted for milder hams instead. The fresh juices? Addictive. Chugged three cups—blueberry + coconut was the MVP 🏆 (bought a bottled one for the road lol). Red prawns ("gambas rojas") were luxury unlocked—but freshness is hit or miss (€12-15 each 💸). Spicy meat empanadas? Heaven. Pro tip: Let them heat it up for you! 🔥 Endless snacks: seafood skewers, fried seafood, paella, seafood salads… Bought paella spice mixes to take home! Final dare: Gooseneck barnacles ("percebes")—looked like alien claws 🦑. Tried them out of curiosity… animal or plant? (Spoiler: sea creatures!). #BarcelonaEats #LaBoqueriaMarket #SpanishFood #VisitSpain #JamonIberico #SpainTravel #EuropeTravelTips #PaellaLover
