Recommendation: A restaurant - La Tramoia

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

If you are wondering where to go for lunch today, you should know that Camino Barcelona, being in the heart of the city, is surrounded by many restaurants and bars where you can enjoy very nice Spanish food! One of my favourite restaurants in Barcelona is called La Tramoia, in the corner between Gran Via and Rambla de Catalunya, in Rambla de Catalunya 15 (just 5 minutes walk from the school).

In La Tramoia,  you can eat very nice ‘tapas’ or any other typical Spanish dishes, for a very reasonable price. There is a cosy and clean atmosphere. In the upstairs area, you can see how these delicious dishes are cooked, as there is an ‘open kitchen’ in the restaurant. La Tramoia belongs to a chain of very good restaurants in Barcelona called ‘Grup Cacheiro’. You can find further information, pictures, and even book your table at http://www.grupcacheiro.com/
