With Kids
Barcelona is great for older kids and teens - the Mediterranean attitude
means they are included in many seemingly adult activities, like eating late
meals at bars or restaurants. Babies will love the welcoming Mediterranean
culture, and toddlers will be showered with attention.

Dining Out
Barcelona - and Spain in general - is super friendly when it comes to eating with children.
Locals take their kids out all the time and don't worry too much about keeping them up late,
so going out to eat or to sip a beer on a terrace on a summer evening needn't mean leaving
children with minders - and they're bound to strike up a friendship or two! Spanish kids tend
to eat the Mediterranean offerings enjoyed by their parents, but many restaurants have chil-
dren's menus that serve up burgers, pizzas, tomato-sauce pasta and the like. Good local - and
child-proof - options commonly found on tapas menus are the
tortilla de patatas
(potato om-
elette) or
croquetas de jamón
(croquettes with ham).
