This immense palace a few minutes walk above the Avenida Tibidabo metro station is a hike—but worth it if you're in upper Barcelona. The kitchen specializes in Castilian cooking, with cordero lechal (roast suckling lamb), morcilla (black sausage), and pimientos de piquillo (sweet red peppers) as star players. The dining room has a terra-cotta floor and a full complement of Art Nouveau ornamentation from carved wood trim to stained-glass partitions, acid-engraved glass, and Moorish archways.
