Sant Antoni de Barcelona - an alternative to Las Ramblas
Anyone looking for some local authenticity and fitness must stray beyond the tourist sections along Las Ramblas. In the area of Sant Antoni, installed between the Raval, Eixample and Poble Sec, appears as little more than a dream area, residential. Young oldsters see their children as they climb over the bars. Dog lovers of all persuasions mooching up and down the avenue Mistral with their canine companions. Groups of boys gelled with wild hair and fashion lip piercings bunched around park benches. Just a few blocks from the Montjuic Park, the place feels removed from the urban chaos the downtown.
Sant Antoni strolling in the dark - or a weekend afternoon - is evidence that the caps have not become the exclusive province traps visitors to Las Ramblas, expensive fusion joints or chains Born without a name along the Passeig de Grcias. The'hora of vermouth is a Spanish custom easily into the fabric of everyday life in San Antonio, 2 nature to most locals and enthusiastically embraced by many that have made Barcelona his home adopted. By midmorning, around 12pm, as a forerunner to a big lunch with family or friends.
Casa Jacinta (Tamarit, 154, 933 172 059) is a local Fave giant. The bar is proud to be an expert when it comes the'vermouth hours. Customers can choose from vintage vermouth, vermouth on tap, and acclaimed wine regions as La Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Bierzo.
An exceptional place for good food, good portions, good vermouth, all served with a good dose of rock and jazz. After a couple of visits, the waiters remember you and then you are part of the family - a large family, since it is based Bar Ramn trusted followers of the area, the city in general, even people who have long left but it is a point to return every time they are in town.
, While gained SuperChef Ferran Adri to the critical food orange foam, his brother, Alberto, and his partners turned cookbook of their grandmothers. Instead of going the route of nouvelle cuisine, went about recovering old, classic recipes, the collection of the best ingredients possible and sprinkling with a bit of imagination. The result: Inopia (Calle Tamarit, 104 and 934 245 231; www.barinopia.com), one of the most famous tapas restaurants in San Antonio, which even drew the iris of the times. It's hard to go wrong here, every dish is a delight, but their seafood and fish tapas are especially good. The only obstacle of celebrity and excellence: the crowd. It becomes very occupied, and only accept reservations for the restaurant table is one, with capacity for twelve years and comes with a tasting menu. The multitude of colors is enough to provide plenty of entertainment as expected, and the food and the atmosphere in this perfect union of modern practice and is certainly worth it.
Lately, Inopia career has been issued for his place in the top for a modest 2 blocks of land on the road: Bohemic (Carrer Mans, 42; 934 240 628). A little, the family business with six tables and covers approximately forty years, led by chef de Francesc Gimeno. Bohemic's reputation has grown steadily in silence and recommendation of friends. And rumor has it that his house has become more vermouth some rave reviews.
For those of us who call Home Sant Antoni, these are all names and familiar faces. Other Barcelona are making the trip across town to find out what all the excitement and trying to find a corner City has not lost touch with their roots. And if you are visiting from out of town and want something off the beaten path, one that's come further to the area memory support, which could be a good idea to find a little home away from home in Sant Antoni. Nothing makes you feel more of a place to stay in their own studio (www.bcninternet.com is a safe bet for quality apartments in Barcelona and surrounding areas), turning the corner and ask for a cap of anchovies in vinegar (pickled anchovies), some olives and a glass of vermouth.
