Comida Local

You can only eat calçots form December to March. Calçots are a variety of spring onions that are burned with flames, then peeled with your hands and dipped into Romesco sauce (almonds, garlic, oil, red pepper...)

Similar to paella but made with pasta. I prefer it and it's safer to order this because if they have it will be homemade. (if they serve Fideuà, probably the paella will also be homemade)

Original from Valencia, this is now also a typical catalan dish. People from Barcelona usually eat it on Thursdays as it's included in almost all the Lunch Menus. However, it's also available during the rest of the week. In general, DON'T order it in the city center, as they'll serve you an industrial frozen one (they usually have branded signboards, "paella d'or" is the most common). 

Vermouth is a herbs liquor (the most famous brand is Martini, but in Catalonia there are dozens of local brands such Miró, Iris or Yzaguirre) which is served chilly on ice, accompained by a tapa of olives, fries or fried fish. 

"To do a vermouth" is a tradition in itself: we love to enjoy a moment of relax previous to Sunday's lunch, so we have a ceremony based on drinking a cold glass of vermouth with friends or family, in a bar or a terrace, and open our stomachs for the big feast which awaits us at home!
