Spain is huge in the culinary world! However, each region, city, and every town boasts their own specialties!<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can enjoy truly authentic foods that you may not find anywhere else in the country no matter where you are. Traditional foods in Barcelona include fideu\u00e0, paella’s noodle cousin and crema catalana, the ancestor of creme brul\u00e9e. This list could go on for days! However, here is a brief introduction to some of the most typical and also traditional foods in Barcelona.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Escudella d’Olla<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Escudella d’Olla<\/em>, a hearty Catalan stew, is something you will most typically find between October and May. Two courses make up this traditional dish. The first, a broth and then the varying solid ingredients. These can include anything from different vegetables and pasta and of course, lots of meat. Botifarra<\/em>, or Catalan sausage, and botifarra negre<\/em>, blood sausage, are also common in this savory dish that will warm your body and soul<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Esqueixada<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If escudella d’olla<\/em> is a dish reserved for the cooler days of the year, then esqueixada <\/em>would be its warm weather opposite. It is also often referred to as the Catalan ceviche. This refreshing salad<\/a> consists of bacalao, or salt cod, with peppers, tomatoes, onions, and olives. Furthermore, you can often find it topped with the delicious nutty romesco <\/em>sauce.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
