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.

  1. (Spanish) ¿Conoces esta verdad?

    1. Las nubes del cielo de todo el mundo son

    bajando a la tierra cada día más.

    2. El sol y la luna en el cielo son superlunas y

    super sol todos los dias.

    3. Si observa de cerca el amanecer y el atardecer,

    puedes ver el cielo rosado.

    4. Los componentes químicos de Chemtrail se pulverizan

    como loco en el cielo de todo el mundo.

    5. Si miras de cerca la luna ahora, la luna está girando.

  2. You should try baby squid s cooked in their own ink with capers. My parents used to cook that for us but that was way back in my childhood. I'm in my eighties now

  3. Mark, at exactly 10:5210:53 you said you had another shot of Espresso. Now, although Espresso is commonly found and can be served to you in Spain, we usually have a coffee that is native to us Spaniards. It's called “Café con leche”. It consists of strong coffee (usually Espresso) mixed with scalded milk in approximately equal amounts. And I think that what you had drank there was a Café con leche.

  4. Great reviews Mark. Very thorough and good energy.

    One thing I noticed was your hands were a bit shaky. Then I saw how much coffee you were drinking. Might want to ease up on the caffeine. Speaking as someone who used to drink coffee before bed and as soon as I woke up. I was very jittery throughout the day. Then I cut back to only one morning coffee and now my hands are steady.

    Stay healthy, brother!

  5. Well. If there's a nuclear war, Mark will survive no problem. He'll eat anything. Brains, snails, squid. It's all the same to him. I'll starve to death. And probably have several types of cancer (it is a nuclear war, after all).

  6. Love your channel. How simple life is there. Glad you guys put Christ first in your lives. I would trade my life on the mainland to experience the life you guys have there. Tight family bonds, no video games, just peaceful fruitful life. My wife is 50% Hawaiian & 50% Chinese. She was born in Hawaii. We live in Washington State now. We are in our late 60's now & miss the simple life. God bless you guys, keep up the Sunday videos.

  7. I have a plan to visit Barcelona this summer and here I am,, watching your video 😂
    You visited a while ago! But nonetheless, I am enjoying your video and hopefully I get to enjoy the city as well!!
