  • Citorah 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.

  • Citorah PickMuseum · El Born

    Picasso Museum

    Citorah says The Picasso Museum is here (book ahead in summer); the Santa Maria del Mar church is free and extraordinary.
