Editorial review
A well-defined thematic guide that covers a specific niche within Barcelona's gastronomy. The work is practical and enjoyable, with a journalistic approach that adds credibility to the recommendations. Although the edition dates back to 2004, it remains interesting for its documentary value and for featuring long-standing establishments that are likely still active. Recommended for those who want a different approach to the city through the palate.
