I would highly recommend that you do not read the following article. It could lead you far from the path of the righteous and through the swinging doors of various cocoa laden, sugar dusted boutiques that sprinkle the streets of Barcelona. If you wish to remain unstained and untainted, kindly click on close and go quietly and humbly back to your celery sticks and cottage cheese…. Now.

From healthy fast food alternative to respected culinary art form, sushi has spread like wild fire since it first appeared at a street stall in Tokyo in 1824.
The Barcelonese certainly didn’t need much steering when the first sushi bar opened here in the early 1970s. Spaniards traditionally favour bite-sized morsels, convivial eating and the ready availability of that essential ingredient, fresh fish. So what could be better than a cosmopolitan port town? Barcelona and sushi soon saw each other as the perfect catch.

Whether you are content to sip fine wines in an elegant environment within Barcelona or would rather go for a full stomping ruta de vino in the hills beyond, Catalunya is certainly not off the world-class map when it comes to turning grape-growing into wine-tasting.

I have a hard life as a writer. (Cue violin sonata…) I woke up on Monday morning, put the cat on and the kettle out, and was rudely interrupted while reading the paper by a call from my boss demanding that I go investigate the city’s best Spas.
So I did.

You never know, you might get bored wondering through all that history, exploring the many galleries or original clothes shops; you might get tired of drinking cortados and watching the world and its weirdos and wonderfulos go by; you never know, it might even rain. Fear not, Barcelona has an alternative pastime, and fortunately, it’s an alternative to watching beautiful films on the big screen doblado-ed badly into Spanish. The city has VO (version original) cinemas to suit all tastes, and many languages (but mostly English).

Don’t Panic! There’s always Organic!
This contemporary, inviting restaurant with its contemporary and wholesome philosophy is considered an essential grazing point for many locals (hence the fact that every time I visit, I see a selection of regular faces, in fact I may well be one of them.)
