El Born, Barcelona

"Located inside my favorite market, Santa Caterina. I love their bombas and fried chorizo. Be sure to check the menu del día to see if they’re serving paella, fideuà, or black rice!"
There’s no better way to discover a city’s cuisine than at a local food market. Head into Mercat de Santa Caterina and stop by Bar Joan, an old-school establishment serving classic Spanish and Catalan cuisine for lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday until 3:30 p.m. (open until 8 p.m. on Friday). Locals flock to Bar Joan for the set lunch menu, but it’s also known for its paella, fried chorizo, and crispy bacon sandwiches. Doors open at 7:30 a.m. so you can grab a tasty breakfast to fuel your day.
