Bread & Butter Barcelona (the real thing!)
Bread is a controversial topic in Barcelona these days. In fact, considering bread is a staple in most European countries, the controversy is not particularly city-specific: the mass production of bread and the disappearance of the local baker now evokes the same level of dismay as intensive farming or overfishing.
