On Day 21 of our Round The World Trip for food with Star Alliance, we spent the day in Barcelona. Barcelona is an amazing food city, and one of the best places to start eating is at La Boqueria. After eating and wandering, we headed over to Sagrada Família for a breathtaking tour. It was an amazing day of food and attractions in Barcelona.
00:34 Breakfast at Cotton House Hotel – We started off the morning at our hotel by having a quick breakfast. The jamon and selection of cured meats was the highlight.
2:53 Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria – Often known in short just as La Boqueria, this historical market is a food lover’s paradise and a pilgrimage destination. We arrived early in the morning and headed first to Bar Pinotxo to eat our second breakfast. I ordered an omelet with eggplant and a plate of garbanzo beans and blood sausage. The dish was simple, but it was incredibly delicious. Additionally, the coffee was extremely good. Total price – 12.80 EUR ($14.04)
6:59 El Quim De La Boqueria – After finishing with the first place of tapas, I wandered over to another legendary tapas bar within La Boqueria market known as El Quim De La Boqueria. It’s a very expensive place, but I knew I wanted to try the fried eggs with baby squid. The dish was a simple combination of ingredients, but it was cooked perfectly, and it was incredibly delicious. I also couldn’t resist a plate of fried chilies. Total price – 32.05 EUR ($35.16) There are dozens of things to eat and try at La Boqueria, and after all the salty food I was ready to have a passion fruit juice. And then finally, to conclude the Barcelona food tour of La Boqueria, I bought a cone of sliced Jamón Ibérico.
14:14 Gothic Quarter, Barcelona Cathedral – After an amazing food tour, we walked around the Christopher Columbus monument and then continued on walking around the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. The Barcelona Cathedral was originally closed when we arrived, but I came back in a few minutes and walked around the Barcelona Cathedral as well.
16:37 Xarcutería La Pineda – Located just around the corner from the Barcelona Cathedral, I headed over to a place called Xarcutería La Pineda (recommended by Chris English), to try the botifarra blanca and a cup of vermouth. It’s an amazing little family run shop with a fantastic array of meats and drinks. Total price – 11.50 EUR
21:25 Basílica de la Sagrada Família – One of the most famous attractions in Barcelona is the Sagrada Familia, a basilica that was famous designed by Antoni Gaudi. I had read and dreamed about visiting for many years, so I was very excited to finally have the chance to visit. What amazed me is how dark and gothic it looks from the outside, yet how light and happy it is on the inside. Sagrada Familia is truly a stunning architectural feat, and an attraction you must visit in Barcelona. Along with visiting the main part of Sagrada Familia, I also bought tickets to go to the Nativity Tower. Going to the top of the tower and walking down was the highlight of visiting. Price – 29.00 EUR per person w/ tower entrance
26:16 Catalan Food for dinner at Restaurant Portolés – For dinner Ying and I walked over to Restaurant Portolés, a local Catalan food restaurant. Some of the main dishes I ordered included Fideuà and Rollitos De Pollo, all of which were delicious. It’s a great restaurant to try in Barcelona. Total price – 26.50 EUR
This was a fantastic day in Barcelona, packed with delicious food and attractions in Barcelona.

Hi Mark, watching you enjoying the food is such an experience. Thanks a lot for the recommendations
Rubbery eggs does not sound that good.
I've never heard that you can distinguish salt by its quality lol, but maybe he can
Enjoyed the video
Love that you're exploring the World! The only exception is blood sausage. Not a fan of that because I'm a Christian and the Bible tells us abstain from BLOOD in any form. Otherwise still enjoy your YouTube Channel. ☺ thank you!

Yummy 😋 Similar to Indonesian food
The good food in israel is the best all over the world
I told an Israeli friend: "Sorry, but Spain is more beautiful than Israel" His answer was: "Because it was never trampled down multiple of times as Israel" It saddened me 😥😢
That was surely anchovy?? Not sardine

ABSOLUTELY WORST COMMENTARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ADULT GOES " OHHH OHHH OHHHH" WHEN THEY SEE FOOD
You are very intellectual, and it is my hope that for new videos will be partly narrative pertaining to history, and some photos of their endemic flowers and biological assets of nature.
Me and my dad had the same thing you ate in the beginning we ate whith you
I really feel like I'm traveling with you 🥰 I really admire you for bringing us to the other dimensions of places & foods. I love it 🥰💕
Ya estuve dos veces en Barcelona…no hay duda que habra tercera vez…simplemente me encanta!!!
Oh, how I miss Barcelona 😢
Mark; just a quick point. What you thought was a DATE in the sauce was in fact a PRUNE.
The cathedral in Barcelona is so beautiful. I wanna see it.
… this guy is a liar … he's unprofessional …
…este tipo es mentiroso…no es profesional…
2 years ago my husband & I went to Barcelona & loved it 😍
I Think the noodle stuff at 28:56 is the Spanish equivalent to fideo.looks good
Madrid > Uefalona
Too many pickpockets and harrassers at Las Ramblas. It is a deal breaker for me. Police are visible but ineffective. Adios Barcelona.
Mark only knows 1 Spanish word…..JAMON
