Fulfilling my Dreams
Today was the day I fulfilled my food dreams of Barcelona. And because I know that you care deeply about how happy I am, I am quite sure that you are joyous at reading this news. I've had problems getting into the places on my food list because they're so busy, but somehow today everything seemed to align in my favor (coupled with the fact that I'm alone and kind of skinny so can fit at the end of the bar where the dirty dishes get passed over to the kitchen), and I was able to eat at two great places.

I'm not one to post pictures of my food, so I'm not going to do that. But I highly recommend:

Bar Central
At the Boqueria, the main fresh food market in Barcelona. This place has lots of great fresh seafood of all types, surrounded by open-air markets selling every tasty and disgusting thing you can think of:

The Bar Central with the great seafood.

                                                         Candy

                                                               Fruit

Why just buy ham when you can get the whole leg, hoof included?










Eldiset:

Then dinner at Eldiset (in my hipster neighborhood). Excellent food, excellent prices. It's just really busy all the time. They're even too cool to have more than a one-page website, so you just have to trust me. The menu is in Spanish, but I highly recommend that thing about halfway down the left page that starts with a "B".

I now go to bed happy, hoping that tomorrow at my Spanish class, no one asks me what I did tonight so that I don't have to deal with past tense verbs.
