Spain - Barcelona
Los Caracoles
By @davidleon
In the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, Los Caracoles opened in 1835, born of the Bofarull family’s kitchen. Here, the signature dish of snails (hence the name) became legendary. This place is more than a restaurant: a chapter of Barcelona’s story in taste and time.
Address: Carrer dels Escudellers, 14, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona, Spain
