Calcots and vistas of Barcelona

Today we took the group to a 16th century Masia in one of the outlying towns of Barcelona for a taste of authentic Catalan cooking: Calcots are back and we can't miss the chance to take our visitors for a treat. After a morning of shopping in the Gracia district, we headed over to the restaurant. Three and a half hours later we left, having been very well fed on calcots, local meats and a delicious creme catalana, we headed up the road back to Barcelona.

We chose the route home that led over the Tibidabo mountain, and stopped along the way for a few panoramic pictures of sunset over the city, stopping by Norman Foster's Tower of Collserola before driving down the mountain back into the city. A wonderful meal and wonderful company on a gorgeous winter's day in Barcelona!
