We got into Barcelona a little before 8 am on a Sunday... Not the prime time to get the true feel of a Spanish city. =)
After dropping our bags at the hostal, we set out to find some coffee and warm food. We settled on a small restaurant near Las Ramblas that serves both tapas and classic Spanish fare.
We started off with café con leche (coffee with milk) and a bocadillo (cold sandwich) of chorizo (garlicky pork sausage seasoned with paprika), cheese and tomato. Then we moved onto tapas: patatas bravas (fried potatoes served with a spicy sauce), warm marinated mushrooms, and txistorra (or chistorra -- chili and paprika seasoned pork sausage).

Are you sure those aren't Vienna sausages or those little cocktail sausages that come in a can?
Haha, I'm pretty sure.
Kat, I want to dive into that bowl of Chorizo!
