Barcelona Bound
June 12, 2012 by Joan Nova in Travel | 20 Comments
It’s family vacation time and we’re off to Bar-the-lona in a couple of days. (Yes, I’m practicing my ‘th’.)
Seven glorious days of trolling La Boqueria (where I took this photo on my last trip) … eating tapas and fresh seafood … drinking vino y cava … ogling Gaudi architecture … savoring the Catalan culture — and, last but certainly not least, lunch on Sunday with one of my first food-blogging friends, la famosa Nuria and her family!
¡Me ♥ Barcelona!
NOTE: Some recipes found on FOODalogue are offered without ingredient quantities. They're meant as a guide to food pairings and techniques to be experimented with … in your own kitchen … to your own spice and taste levels … to your preferred portion sizes … and to however many people you’re cooking for.
A perfect meal has multiple levels of flavor and textures, bright colors and tastes, and healthy(ish) choices. It's all about enjoyment. Enjoy the process, the presentation and the just rewards...eating!

Would love to go there the next time we’re in France. I have a bit of a hard time with the “th” myself, but you know what they say, practice makes perfect. Have fun Joan.
