    Travelling to Barcelona at the end of the week and planning to travel. I am looking for recommendations to great places around the city and beyond as I am planning on travelling around the region. Any recommendations are welcome to those who have been there recently.
    Thank you.

    Here's a thread about the Basque region. Not particularly current but possibly useful, nonetheless . . .

    Was there last week and the culinary highlight for us was Direkte Boqueria, adjacent to the Mercat Boqueria. Eight seats and a 10-course plus three deserts prix fix was sensational! A few seats outdoors, but to get the entire "dinner and a show" experience watching each course prep you want to snag one of the eight seats at the counter.

    I was there just as COVID was hitting a few places, before lockdown (one of those threads linked above). Look for places in the Born district: lots of cool, modern stuff there, perhaps a bit less touristy than the Bari Gotic or Las Ramblas.
    I'm not sure how comfy I'd be in this plague environment with the wall-to-wall bodies of the tapas at El Xampanyet, but it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had.
