Tips for BCN:
- Do not, under any circumstance including torture, eat anywhere on Las Ramblas below Plaza Catalunya or anywhere that has a laminated menu with a little English flag. Just no.
- Try Mont Bar in Eixample near University for some delicious local produce and excellent wines. Monovinc also in this area is another great choice for wine + food heaven.
- Bar del Pla in Born is another nice, informal option for tapa style dining. Reservations essential.
- Take a drink at one of the many roof bars in the evening.
- Enric Granados, also Eixample near University is a great street for restaurants.
- Go up to Tibidabo in case you want the views but want to avoid the masses at Parc Guell... there is a nice bar up there with gorgeous views over the city.
- Gracia neighborhood has the most 'local' feel to it, but avoid on a Sunday.
