Monday Memories: Remembering Barcelona, El Xiringuito Escriba

A little further down the beach (conveniently located near a big Bicing station) and with a fantastic selection of dishes. If you're after seafood galore and a properly cooked paella then Xiringuito Escriba is the place to go.

Here are some pictures of the food we have enjoyed there.

Above you can see dishes including typical calamares, sweet prawns from Tarragona, a Catalan cheese and anchovy salad and an onion salad with tuna. And those little ones? Those are camarones... super cute nibbles.

I don't know about you but I'm flipping hungry now... LATERS!
