We're in Barcelona for 2 months and today in our favourite Tapas Bar we met the exec chefs of the Bangkok Hyatt and Marriott and the owner of Tapas Cafe.
They had just arrived (after 28 hours of flying) for the Alimentaria Show - a major trade show. After chatting with them we definitely plan to attend.
We traded restaurant lists - I was very happy that we had most of the same restaurants on our list.

Hi Kathie - we traded Barcelona restaurant lists! But I might catch up with them at Alimentaria and I will definitely ask aboutt BKK (I expect the owner of Tapas Cafe will recommend Tapas Cafe!)

If you have the time, try to take a day trip to Girona, about 40 mins away by easy train, or rent a car. Girona has an outstanding medieval center, with an impressive and famous church, one of the best and most well preserved ancient Jewish quarters in Europe and also some great food, and chocolate. Many of the seaside towns along the coast, driving north from BCN are just beautiful. Have fun and have some tapas and pan tomat for all of us.

Hi Tengo - thanks for the Girona suggestion - we've got 3 more weeks here and I think we'll do that one day plus Montserrat. We were going to go to Granada but with Easter coming up the cheap flights....aren't.
But we are going to Malta for 3 nights at the end of the month to check it out as a possible winter spot for future years..........then back to Toronto in early April which is looking to be WAY too early this year as it approaches record snowfall levels!
