This butcher shop is an ABSOLUTE GEM! The lines can get long here so my advice is go somewhere…read moreelse, but I just needed to share this local one stop shop for meat!! Vila de Gracia is a foodie heaven as there are countless meat, vegetable, and seafood stores all around the neighborhood. There are at least 10 meat shops within a block of our house and they are all pretty good but I've decided that Gasch is top of my list. Every cut of beef is available. They will hand slice anything you want in anyway that you need, in any quantity.. They will cut off the fat, leave the fat, season the meat, or even skewer the meat. I once asked for oxtail and they brought out 2 whole ones from the back fridge. I chose one and they chopped it up - yes, it's that fresh! And the meat is very flavorful. They specialize in Galician beef which some will argue is the best beef in the world. Service is great and the women butchers are efficient but very friendly. Prices are competitive for the neighborhood, but way cheaper than the tasteless beef in the US. Make sure you check the hours as they are only open half days on Saturday and Monday, closed on Sundays, and are always closed for daily siestas.

We visited this covered open air market on our last day in Barcelona before boarding our cruise…read moreship. Our tour guide the previous day advised us to wait until around 10-1030 before arriving to ensure vendors were open. We heeded his advice and yet 1/3 of the stalls were either still setting up or had not yet arrived so be aware of this when visiting. The area has plenty of space for lots to walk and gather, though there isn't much space to sit down and eat. There are a plethora of food stalls, fresh juices, sweets, meats and more. We wandered up and down each aisle stopping when we saw something interesting. We tried pastries, olives, tacos, candies and flavored salts. This was a great spot to pick up gifts for people back home.

Most stalls sold similar items. We did grab some oysters salty and unsalted. I preferred the salted one as it was less brinier. The lady liked the unsalted. It was 10euro for 4! They also had plenty of stalls with cured meats, cheeses, fresh squeezed juices, and like a fried outer dough with meat filling treats. I have no idea what they are called but we got some haha! Overall pretty chill spot, when we left and went out a back alleyway exit, there was some youngings one of which walked passed us then immediately turned and got super close following us. Not sure if they were filming pickpocket pranks or what but stand your ground and tell them off. Our only weird interaction really with possible pickpockets this trip that we noticed.

And they will give you samples of whatever ham they have out for carving. The gentlemen helping us was very nice and informative. Each piece we had was flavorful and yummy! The ham that was aged longer was easier to chew with less resistance. We decided to purchase the highest quality aged 5 years, which was less salty, but robust in meaty flavor. It was absolutely delicious with rustic French bread from the bakery close to our hotel. If you're sightseeing near Casa Batllo, it's only a 3-5 minute walk around the corner! We're not iberico ham connoisseurs and I'm not sure whether or not we could tell the difference between high end or mid range iberico ham. They're all very good! We probably could have gotten some less pricey ones from the markets and would have been just as satisfied. But nonetheless, it was nice to buy something luxurious to enjoy while in Spain.

I was just walking by and was super hungry and figured I'd try my luck. You can buy your jamon shredded, in bits, or whatever. I went high end and in bits. I have to say, I was super impressed. I bought 100 grams and then circled back to buy 2 more 100 grams portions. They came with free bread sticks. Also, you insert your money in a huge automatic Euro dollar bill acceptor that's like 10 feet high, which was weird. The lady who worked there was very nice as we worked through my Spanglish.
