Tapas in Poble Sec, Barcelona
The breakdown is: breakfast at 10, lunch at 2 and dinner at 10pm. With an eating schedule like this you may get hungry while wandering Spanish soil. Before you pack the trail mix in your purse, consider tapas which are cooler, less crunchy, and much more delicious.
Seafood tapas are one option...
The Scoopettes have traveled all over Spain doing ‘research’ on tapas. We have gained a few pounds and some seriously good scoop on some fabulous tapas joints from Barcelona to Sevilla.
In Barcelona I dig in at Jai-ca (Ginebra, 13 08003 Barceloneta
932 68 32 65) in La Barceloneta for some stellar tapas, with a lot of seafood tapa options. Patxoca in old town Barcelona also does yummy tapas that also happen to be organic. They are a bit pricy, but worth it. Patxoca has outdoor seating with heaters in the winter, plus a cozy albeit small, inside dining room.
A useful source for finding tapas restaurants and really, any sort of restaurant in Barcelona is Salir.com, which is in Spanish. The web lists restaurants all over Spain.
In Seville, The Scoop follows De Tapas por Sevilla on Facebook to get the latest scoop on what people in the south of Spain are munching (http://www.facebook.com/Sevilladetapas). We also like Tapas Con Arte.

In Madrid there are also really cool tapas places. For visitors of this awesome city a drop by one of this place to my mind is a must!
Any of the perpendicular streets on either side of the Ramblas leads to exciting laberynths full of charming little squares with countless restaurants. Venture into Barcelona’s Old Town and discover your own special tapas delicacy.
