Barcelona Tortilla Tour: 5 Must-Try Tortilla Spots

Barcelona is known for its incredible food scene, but if there's one thing that never disappoints, it's hunting down a great Spanish tortilla. After trying several spots around the city, these were the tortillas that impressed us the most: creamy, creative, and packed with flavor.

One thing really stood out to me. Unlike Madrid, where tortilla slices are usually served with simple bread, in Barcelona they're often paired with pa amb tomàquet, the classic Catalan bread rubbed with tomato, olive oil, and salt, which somehow makes the whole experience even better.
