Question please you 2 lovely people, I am 68 years old as a child aged 11 my late parents had a touring caravan, we travelled through Europe and visited Barcelona. I remember two things, there was a wonderful fair overlooking Barcelona which we kids had hours of fun at, no idea if it is still there, then turning to the food chicken cooked in brandy on a rotating spit which we had with Paella it was so wonderful I can still recall it today even though it was 1970 when we went there, I have to this day never tasted chicken cooked on a spit that even comes near to the magnificence of that moment and to add to the wonderful experience the Paella was out this world, I have never forgot that experience, can you still get chicken cooked on the spit in brandy and herbs? Thank you both as it is on my bucket list, bless you both xx

A list of the actual restaurants you visited would have been nice.

Great suggestions! One thing about the paella, though… freshwater shrimp in Southeast Asia often have claws and that was a langoustine lobster… there are even folks who term our lobsters as crayfish.

That toasty part of the paella is called socarrat and everyone fights over it. That "baby lobster" is called cigala and it is a crayfish.

Thank you so much, that’s so exciting to hear you’ve been enjoying the videos! That is a tough decision between the two. Both are great, and there are awesome day trips around both areas too. It probably comes down to if you prefer city life or the beach. Madrid has amazing restaurants and great nightlife, but there are no beaches. Barcelona has miles of beautiful coastline, but the food can be more hit or miss. There is no wrong answer, we enjoyed both, but our choice would be Madrid 😁 hope you have a great trip!

The valencian paella is made with rabbit, chicken pork artichoque and other vegetables, in Catalonia we prefer the paella marinera made with fish,only fish,now we call paella too because is the name of the pan where is cooked but when i was child the paella was named arròs amb peix or arròs a la cassola (rice with fish).and cooked in a clay pot.

A really silly thing to say, paella in Barcelona is been eaten for generations and is different from the one made in Valencia. There could be where it was first made, but here is as traditional as there, as it happen in many other places. The best paellas are in Delta de l’Ebre region.

What you ate is not a small lobster, it's a shrimp!

Croquetas are not potatoes and cheese, croquetas are made of bechamel, then you add jamón, cod, whatever you like to add, but the cream inside is bechamel. Also, I think that those "bombas" you eat are actually albóndigas, not croquetas!

Its cool that you want to make a video about spanish coussine, but you’ve made so many mistakes. 1. Iberia doesnt exist, Jamón Ibérico comes from many parts of spain which belong to “La península Ibérica” (a big chunk of the country). Iberia is an airline company lol. 2. Croquetas have nothing to do with potatoes or cheese. They are made from bechamel. 3. Those extra “crispy rice bits” are called Socarrat.

The WORT FOOD paella don’t eat this crap anywhere in barcelona

Firstly,don't bother going to Barcelona,it's overun with tourists,crime ridden and overpriced wherever you go,there are hundreds of other ,much more worth while places to visit in Spain

It’s a shame you didn’t bother to mention the places you gave your patronage to. Very weird and very off putting. I’m going to Barcelona for 4 days next month and besides La Campana, those other businesses will miss out on my business 😢
