What to eat in Barcelona

Catalan cuisine centres on seasonal produce, seafood and cured meats. Try pa amb tomàquet, escalivada, calçots (in season), seafood paella, fideuà and crema catalana — best paired with local Cava or Priorat wine. Tapas bars around El Born and the Barceloneta stay lively long after concerts finish.
