For only 1.70 Euros you get a decent sized cafe con leche and a large croissant. Their croissants have a sugar wash, thus making them slightly sweeter than French croissants. This bakery also offers croissants that are dusted and baked with chocolate that are in the traditional crescent shape. They also sell tiny croissants. Locals frequent this bakery on their way to the train. It has great big windows which allow​ sunlight to pour in as you enjoy your pastries. The bakery offers a selection of premade sandwiches to which they will add ingredients to taste. If you're in the Gava area, definitely​ stop by.

While visiting Tarragona, my friend and I wanted to stop by a bakery and found Panishop which is…read morejust outside the market. You can order inside and eat outside or inside and there is an upstairs area as well with additional seating and restrooms. The people who helped us were very helpful and friendly, trying to translate 'anise' for us before we found out that it's the same in English (haha, just a spice we hadn't heard of). We tried a donut, the anise pastry, and a chocolate-filled pastry. This may sound weird but the donut looked fake, like the frosting was so perfect it didn't look real! Tasted amazing. The anise pastry reminded us of biscotti. I got a chai tea latte, which was yummy- just a little confused on the glass choice since it was a hot drink. And my friend tried the cafe au lait. It was a wonderful sweet breakfast stop for our rainy Sunday morning!

If you are headed out this way, make sure you are very clear as to how to flag down the proper bus. I arranged in advance for one of the wine and chocolate tours advertised on the Chocolates Simon Coll website. It was 13.5 euro for a 90-minute tour/tasting at Codorniu and an hour tour/tasting at Simon Coll. I was blown away by the whole thing. Unlike most tourist destinations, the staff at both locations seemed genuinely excited to share their stories and products with us. It made the whole experience that much more fun. I just couldn't believe that for ~$15 I got two glasses of cava, all the chocolate I could ever want, and a half day's worth of entertainment. The Simon Coll experience alone is worth the visit to this quaint town. It isn't just one of those boring tours where you sit in a room and someone shows you a slideshow of a cocoa plantation. They call it a "chocolate experience" instead of a "tour" for a reason. They have an entire audiovisual room that transports you into the chocolate making experience - it is really innovative and unexpected. You get to taste chocolate from the cocoa nib form to the finished truffle and all of the steps in between. If you don't have time for a tour, the shop itself is a real treat. They have a ton of variety and they let you sample almost everything in the store! It really felt like heaven.
