3. What to Do
After touring the restaurant scene, visit the city's finer food emporiums. Besides a huge collection of local vendors (plying piles of produce and cases filled with wild game), the Mercat de Santa Caterina has a shocking, stylish design. Jamonísimo stocks jamon de bellota (acorn-fed ham) and other hams you've never considered. They'll pack it all properly for your plane ride home. La Carte des Vins has a large selection of Spanish wines and a British expert, Gareth York, to guide you through a tasting.
