Barcelona on a budget

Me and the BF are taking a trip to Barcelona and Paris at the end of the month. We'll be in each city for 1 week.

I checked out the great Paris threads elsewhere on the board and got some great suggestions - but I didn't find much on Barcelona. We're kind of on a tight budget so if anyone has some suggestions for Barcelona I'd be excited to hear them.

We're thinking of dinner no more than 30 euro (less for lunch).

there is a sandwich shop chain in barcelona called 'pans & co' that is quite good. they use high quality meats and cheeses on baguettes that are just plain great.

it's fast food, but it's a pretty good option for a quick lunch. i used to get the jamon serrano and brie fairly often.



also, the boqueria market is ledgendary and is, in my opinion, the best food market in all of europe. go there, buy cured meats, boquerones (marinated anchovies), bread, cheese, olives, and frutas secas and go have a picnic!
