44 Spain with a Twist
This detour to the northern limits of El Born is worth the walk. At first glance, the tapas
at informal Bar del Pla ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 93 268 30 03; www.bardelpla.cat ; Carrer de Mont-
cada 2; mains from €10; noon-11pm Tue-Sun, until midnight Fri & Sat; Jaume I) are traditionally
Spanish, but the riffs on a theme show an assured touch. Try the ham and roasted-meat
croquettes or the marinated salmon, yoghurt and mustard.
55 Tapas with a View
Back in the heart of El Born, in the shadow of Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar, pastry
chef Carles Mampel operates Bubó . If you're not already sated, try the salted cod cro-
quettes at one of the outdoor tables inching onto the lovely square.

66 Cal Pep
Boisterous Cal Pep is one of Barcelona's enduring stars. It can be difficult to snaffle a
bar stool from which to order gourmet bar snacks such as cloïsses amb pernil (clams
with ham); if it's full, order a drink and wait. It's always worth it.
