Fish and Seafood in Barcelona - Try it!

Seafood.jpgIn a city by the sea it tastes the best! All fish and seafood gourmets would agree on this. Also, in Barcelona it tastes great! The best choice would be one of the restaurants that have only recently reopened at the seafront. Talking a walk enjoying the first really warm rays of sun at midday to have a light lunch has newer been nicer than at spring temperatures and before the beach overloaded by people. Also, in evening hours, you may still enjoy sitting down outside the restaurant for an appetizer, since most of the restaurants have heaters. If you have booked a .Barcelona Hotel close to the beach, it won't take you long to find a restaurant close by. For those who do not stay close to the Barcelona beach, you may take the subway and get off at Barceloneta or Parc Cuitadella, both on the yellow line. From there it's only a stone's throw to the beach. For all talented cooks, you may want to rent a Barcelona apartment with a big kitchen, to create fish and seafood specialities yourself, during your stay in Barcelona.

Enjoy the different Barcelona tastes!

The hidden Barcelona Ferry Bar

Busc de les Fades.jpgIf your are staying in a centrally located Barcelona Hotel or a Barcelona Apartment, you may already walked by the Ferry Bar, as I call it. It is loacted in a small niche next to the Barcelona Wax Museum and close to the metro station Drassanes on the lower part of the Ramblas (seaside).

It's real name in Catalán is El Bosc de les Fades Café and the English equivalent would be Magic Forrest Cafébar. Only walking through the different rooms is an attraction itself, as each room has its own theme. During the afternoon hours it is very suitable for families with kids, as smoking inside is not permitted. In the later evening ours teens and twens take over the place.
So if you are coming with your family, Barcelona Point can offer you a variety of centrally located Barcelona family apartments. The same is true for friends looking for Barcelona Group Apartments.

Have a nice stay in Barcelona and don't get lost in the ferrytail's forrest.
