Food is such an important part of the way Dave and I travel. One of the only activities we booked ahead of time for Spain was a Tapas Crawl (where you go from bar to bar and sample different snacks). It was spectacular and taught us about all the different Tapas we like.

Last night, we tried another common Spanish way of eating: Pinchos

The idea is that bars put out a variety of food with tooth pics in it. There are usually 2 kinds of toothpicks. One is for cheaper Pinchos (usually 1€) and the other are for higher priced ones (1-1.80€).

You get full before too long, and you get to try a variety of different foods, which suited me just fine!!!

Our first stop was the best of the 3. They had a bunch of dishes with quail eggs, which I really enjoyed. As long as the bar is busy, everything moves out quickly and fresh stuff is brought out often.

I am loving Spain! I feel like this is where I belong:
– They love snacking
– They eat and sleep late
– They love eggs. Served all day, everywhere
– Cheap and delicious coffee
– Dogs everywhere! Big dogs. Big mutts! They’re well behaved and trained.
I don’t know if I’m going to leave. I might just stay here…. ?

If you want to try this style of food in Barcelona, I highly recommend hitting up Blai Street or Carrer de Blai. There are more than a dozen restaurants and bars serving food in this style!
