Ola chicos.
Today I have decided to write an article related to food. What you have to eat in Spain if you wanna try something typical. Firstly I have to tell you one important thing. Opening hours usually are:
lunch time:13:00-16:00
dinner time: 20:00-23:00
This means that if you want to eat at 17:00 for example in many cities this will be impossible mission.
1. Paella
Number one is definitely Paella. It is one of the best food I have ever tried. It is based on rice with seafood.
The best Paella looks like this- home made. I was lucky because my friend from Barcelona invited me for sunday lunch (it is typical to cook Paella on sunday in Catalan families).
Then you can eat very good Paella in restaurants- now pay attention- in non turistic places!!! You can find lots of good restaurants in part of Barcelona called Born. The price is around 13 euros.
Finally you can eat very bad Paella in turitic places. I am sorry but this Paella is not good at all. In Barcelona there are many places like this in La Rambla, for example. It was one of the worst Paella I've tried.
2.Tapas
It is very common to eat Tapas. Spanish people usually drink wine or beer. Me? Well, water. Tapas could be anything- cheese, ham (in spanish it is Jamon and it is quite famous), octopus, shrimps etc. It is good to try Catalan bread. One of the most famous tapas is Patatas Bravas- potatos with some special kind of sauce. In some places you can order small or bigger portion. I recommend you to order small portions, few types of Tapas and share it with your friends. Usually prices are from 5 euros. In Barcelona there are nice Tapas Bars (and cheap) in quarter called Gracia.
3.Tortilla espaňola
It is very famous and Spanish people are quite proud of it. It is made from potatos.
4.Gazpacho
It is a cold soup. I have never tried because I don' t like cold food generally. However my friend tried it and she highly recommend it. Thus if you like soups, definitely try it.
5.Crema catalana
If you go to Barcelona or just somewhere else in Catalonia you have to try this dessert. It is good.
What do I recommend?
If you wanna try as many typical Spanish food as possible go to one of those restautants called "Eat all what you can". In Barcelona there is for example restaurant El Puma.
You can also go to supermarket, buy something and cook it yourselves.
What you should drink in Spain
Sangria
Denifitelly number one. I don' t like wine at all. However I have learnt how to drink at least Sangria (in Portugal). When there was a house party (usually in my place) I had to drink something. There is a big difference between Sangria from supermarket (on the photo) and Sangria from restaurant.
Cava
It is something between wine and champagne. You can buy very cheap bottle in supermarket. It is very famous in Catalonia.
Mojito-it is not typical but very good
Mojito here is much more better than in the Czech Republic. The quality is quite high. I drink one Mojito and I am drunk already. My favourite bar is Rosa Negra. Mojito costs 3,5 euros which is very very very cheap in Barcelona. Mostly you can buy Mojito around 7 euros.
I hope that I gave you some ideas and next time when you go to Spain you will eat something typical. I always do it.
Adios, Hasta luego
