Back From Barcelona – Lots of Tapas and Other Good Food – #1

Tapas, or small plates, were what we mostly feasted on for this trip. We love tapas and often eat this way at home too. We would order a few different items and share them between us. It’s a great way to try a variety of different things without getting huge portions of everything. It is also one of the favorite ways to dine in Spain. We dined al fresco most of the time, which we do at home all as often as the weather allows. The weather was perfect and we could watch the world go by as we sat and enjoyed our delicious foods.

This little place call El Rocio was our first of many stops for tapas dinners for the trip, both in Mallorca and Barcelona.

Many places will start you off with olives and/or bread with aioli before the rest of the meal. So many olives are grown here, and such a wide variety of delicious olives too. And of course, I had to enjoy my meal with some good Spanish wines as well.

We ordered Patatas Bravas, or spicy, crispy potatoes, at a lot of our stops. Patatas Bravas are some of our favorites. This time we enjoyed them with calamari and chorizo too, also some of our favorites. It was a great way to start off our Spanish dining experiences.

Everything was muy delicioso, just as we had expected it would be.

Life is short. Enjoy all the delicious foods you can. Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
