The World of Tapas

Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on May 24, 2008 – 7:46 am -

Barcelona happens to be my favorite city for a number of reasons (though Paris, not the idiotic girl, comes a close second). I love its architecture, the energetic Catalan people, the wondrous food, the pungent wines, and above all I love to stroll along the Ramblas, looking for new Bodegas (a Bodega is a wine cellar where barrels of wine and fortified wine are kept).

Las Ramblas is a 1.2 Km walkway through the very heart of the city center. Here you will see all sorts of stalls, restaurants, bars and street performers along with the many thousands of people that promenade up and down the Ramblas until the early hours of the morning (do pay attention to your wallet as pickpockets abound).
