Tipps für Reisende

Local lunch and dinner time.
If you want to feel like a local, eat at the same time as them. Lunch for most Spanish people is between 1pm to 4pm. Dinner is between 9pm to 11pm. Barcelona is a big city with people from different cultures so you will always find a place to eat earlier.
Bräuche und Kultur
Tapas and menus!
If you want to eat true Spanish food, go to a tapas restaurant. But don’t forget that a tapa is a small plate so order many.
Also, for Spanish people is typical to eat the daily menus at restaurants. Check them out.

These beautiful beaches are less packed, and you will be surrounded by locals.
