All of El BornCitorah PickSight · El Born
Santa Maria del Mar
Citorah says The Picasso Museum is here (book ahead in summer); the Santa Maria del Mar church is free and extraordinary.
Citorah PickRestaurant
7 Portes
Citorah says 7 Portes (sometimes written "Set Portes") at Passeig Isabel II 14 is the 1836 grande dame you want — two minutes from Barceloneta metro on the L4, vaulted dining room, marble columns, brass nameplates of dead writers above the booths.
Wrong for Solo diners (rice is a two-pax floor, full stop), backpackers on €15 a meal, anyone with a 7pm flamenco ticket.
Citorah PickRestaurant · El Born
Casa Delfín
Citorah says This is the rice address locals send their cousins to when 7 Portes is full of cruise passengers being walked in two-by-two.
The catch Wrong restaurant if you're solo, want under €20 a head, or are catching a 16:00 train.
