What's for Lunch in Barcelona?

Published April 25, 2022

A recent trip revealed the riches

During a week in Spain with family and friends, my wife, my sons, and I were on an eating schedule that I can only describe as tantric.

In the mornings, we’d have a delicious croissant with coffee and then fast for eight hours until a late lunch. That was tough for me. As I’ve written before, I‘m the most hungry first thing in the morning and I’m accustomed to eating a huge breakfast. Also, in Spain, we weren’t eating much in the evenings, just a few slices of the best ham in the world and some bread and cheese. We were walking five to seven miles a day around Barcelona, so that little bit of fuel got burned up quickly.
