 Gastronomic Barcelona
The cuisine is of great attractiveness in the Mediterranean area and, particularly, Barcelona offers a select variety of restaurants where the creations of culinary master Chefs such as Carles Gaig or Ramon Freixa can be tasted. The high Mediterranean cuisine, creative or traditional, combines products of first quality in its different versions with a great dose of originality and a handful creative enthusiasm.
