Barcelona
Vermouth hour never really ends here.

A note from the editor
With 25 million travelers visiting Barcelona every year, it’s no surprise there are tourist traps in convenient locations offering generic, low quality food. That’s why I asked local insiders where they like to take their friends and family from out of town and show off Catalan cuisine, modern or traditional, and hang out sipping on cava over tapas.
