Lazy Saturday lunch at the Santa Caterina market
Today I meandered down to the recently opened Santa Caterina market, just off Via Laietana. There’s a great little eatery in there, who’s name escapes me, where they make fantastic dishes every day, the menu changing according to what they get from the market that day. Um um…I’d skipped breakfast, so I started with a fried egg on fried potatoes, so simple and yet absolutely delicious, especically when washed down with a copa de cava…followed by mokfish with asparagus and tomatoes, the fish was astoundingly fresh and again absolutely delicious, especially when washed down with a second copa de cava…a selection of cheeses to finish off, a quick café solo, and on to the Boqueria market to buy some fresh prawns. Aah, these are the things that make Barcelona so pleasurable for those who enjoy idling…
