if you ever come to Barcelona and visit the Boqueria market in Las Ramblas, don’t miss this small corner near the entrance named Pinotxo (Catalan name for Pinocchio), owned by Juanito, who also owns thousands of interesting stories gathered during the countless beers he has poured in such a small counter…

and if food drives your passions, the Boqueria Market is a must: colors, shapes, smells and a noisy (and crowdy) environment will make you crave for having a “real food” experience; in that case, go to Pinotxo and ask for chickpeas with catalan sausage (“cigrons amb botifarra“), beans with squid (“fabes amb txipirons“) or, directly in Catalan, “cap-i-pota“, a true delicatessen for the brave

that’s the basic rule for food: if your language doesn’t have a word for that, you must try it at least once!!!
