WHERE TO EAT The best Boquerones fritos in the world (according to food experts)

"Make sure you try fried sardines."

This is one of Barcelona`s most traditional bars, and even though they don`t offer a great variety, come here and you will see why this place is so popular. Stand by the bar and ask Pepe for a beer and some boquerones fritos (small fried fish) that you can eat while standing and making friends. People usually gather outside, since the place is small, and he conversation flows easily. It is the perfect place if you`re traveling alone and want to have a good time. If you happen to get a table, you can try the wine by the "porrón", a cristal jar that is unique of Spain (bring an extra t-shirt, it takes practice to drink from one!)
