Barcelona - Food

We ate every well while in Barcelona in October.

Since we had a kitchen we made breakfast for ourselves: toast or cereal, coffee or tea, sometimes fresh squeezed orange juice and pastry for a local shop.

Lunches often later than noon time were often the big meals and then dinner if we didn't go back out were simple: cheese, ham, crackers, bread, olives, and fruit.

I didn't capture all the meals on camera but here are some highlights.  I'll do my best to describe them.

This was a tapas selection.  You can see the avocado, sesame seeds, drizzle of dark honey, thin tortillas or crepe and I think cheese also inside.

Also tapas: simply grilled asparagus with a Romesco dipping sauce.

Our first introduction to tapas: anchovies, calamari, potatoes, and eggplant.  Below roasted peppers.

This was a fish dish.  Below was a whole fish that three of us shared.
