While I’m here in Spain, I made a quick trip via high-speed train to Barcelona for a few days. As part of one of my excursions, I signed up for a Foodlover Tapas Tour. Along with our guides Javier and Daniel, there were 8 of us hailing from the USA, Germany, Luxemburg and the UK. There were a great bunch and it was fun to share food and stories with them! Here’s photos of all the tapas I tried along with plenty of wine (of course).
Our first stop was La Boudequeta Provença:

Octopus Salad, Ensalada de Pulpo

Bread with Tomato, Pan Con Tomate

White wine from the Pamplona region.

Fried Anchovies, Boquerones Fritos

Salt Cod Croquettes, Croquetas de Bacalao

Fried Baby Squid, Chopitos
Stop number two was a few blocks away and a small rustic and intimate tavern, Taverna Mediterrania:

A handcrafted Vermouth aperitif to start.

Mushroom and Egg Omelette

Ox Stomach Stew, Tripe Aita

Steamed Mussels, Mejillones al Vapor

More fried anchovies, Boquerones Fritos

Chickpea Stew with Morcilla, Cocido
Our final stop of the night was Bardot in the L’Eixample district:

Beef Croquettes

Calamari and Beans

Salt Cod Omelette

Braised Oxtail

Vegetable Risotto with Pancetta

Grilled Beef Steak, Chuleton

Postres — Chocolate Torte and Crema Catalan with Ice Cream
We finished off near midnight satiated and quite happy. I really enjoyed the people in our tour group, and Javier and Daniel were great guides! I’d do another Foodlover tour next time I’m back in Barcelona!
