Eating seafood in Barcelona is always easy. However, finding great, authentic seafood in non-touristic surroundings is harder. Filling one side of a tiny tree-filled square in the old working class neighbourhood of Taulat in Poblenou, it's a short walk from the local, friendly market.

Vic, it has to be said, is amongst my favourite places in Catalonia. It manages to mix oodles of history with upbeat modernity, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere with a strong sense of tradition. It’s also one of a number of towns that stakes a strong claim to being the cradle of Catalonia.
