JAI-CA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not be confused by the deceptive name, more typical of a Chinese restaurant than the establishment that concerns us. Indeed, the Jai-Ca, created in 1955, is one of those timeless bars, decotated with marble tables, wooden chairs, a long bar and a small terrace.

LA COVA FUMADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We could not end our journey through the marine district of Barcelona<\/strong> without referring to another of its great gastronomic references: La Cova Fumada, which opened its doors for the first time in 1944. Although we had already referred to it before, it\u2019s time to do it again, since it was here where the bombes<\/em> were invented<\/strong>, the appetizing balls of meat and potatoes that are now raging throughout the country. In addition, here you can also enjoy herring, sardines, fried squid and prawns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
