Summer in the City of Barcelona

It's summer and time for a frosty drink.
While the Caipirinha may be the official drink of Brazil, it has gained huge popularity here in Barcelona and is readily available in most bars and cafes.


My two favorite places for Caipirinha's are Margarita Blue (on calle Josep Anselm Clave #6 - just a couple blocks off the Ramblas, down by the Columbus Statue) and the outside terrace cafe at Placa del Rei (behind the main Cathedral, the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia). Note: Margarita Blue also serves great chicken fajitas...and the prices are muy bajo (inexpensive).

If you are looking for something more easy breezy I suggest trying the locate favorite, a "Clara"....which is half beer and half lemon soda.

  1. I love that you posted something on your blog again after a long hiatus! I read your book and somehow (like all your fans all over the world) feel a strange closeness to you despite not knowing you AT ALL =P (books do that aye?) and wonder how you are doing in Barcelona because I never wanted your book to end. Hope to read more posts!

    P.S. One day I want to go on your private tour of Barcelona!
