 Rose's Top Spots in Barcelona, Spain
I have visited Barcelona twice now, as I just love this city and it's ways.
If you are planning a trip to Spain, I recommend including Barcelona: it's an energetic city alive with art, culture, history, diverse architecture,
festivals aplenty and friendly people. Like any city, the more time you spend the better you really get to know it but if you are visiting for a brief time,
I have started to make a list of my favourite things to see and do that I am sure would please anyone. I will keep adding more as I find the time, and as I stumble across new places.

Cerveceria el Vaso de oro
|
Directions: Balboa, 6, Barceloneta
Phone: 9331939098
Hours: 8:00 to 24:00
Closest Metro: Barceloneta (Yellow line)
This is the best tapas bar I have come across yet. It is located in Barceloneta, hidden in a small street and has opaque doors,
which makes it easy to miss if you are not in the know! Inside is a uniquely narrow, lively and always crowded restaurant,
with fantastic dishes. You may have to stand for a while and shout out your orders while you keep an eye out for people to leave their stools,
but the standing and waiting is worth it! It has the yummiest authentic tapas I have ever tasted, and cheap prices, too.
It is usually filled
with locals rather than tourists and the waiters are all dressed in sailor suits. You will soon see why it is so packed after you have sampled your first tapa.
Try my favourite there - sirloin pieces which melt in your mouth, with small green peppers and salt. This dish in Spanish is 'Solomillo de Ternera'.
It isn't a tourists' restaurant, so you will want to write down or learn how to say a few names, or you can point at your choice from the selection of
tapas they have on display. Also, as it is a 'Cerveceria', they have some great specialty beers on tap! However these aren't so cheap.
