Zaragoza and Girona??

We are headed to Zaragoza and Girona after 4 days in Bilbao/ San Sebastián. Any ideas for good eateries in our new locations?

Of course!

For Zaragoza:

  • Chocolatería Valor - a great place for traditional Spanish hot (or cold) chocolate drinks and churros, makes for a perfect breakfast.

  • El Tubo District - the tapas quarter of Zaragoza old town, a collection of great little tapas bars strung together by its twisting medieval streets, you can't go wrong with any tapas bars here.

  • Puerta Cinegia Mercado - a gourmet food hall/market just off the Plaza de España, it has little shops with many different local and regional foods and beer, like mushroom croquetas or seafood Paella. Complete with a 3 story statue of Roman Emperor Augustus, very cool place.

  • Taberna 1941 - contemporary tavern offering traditional mountain and sea foods of Northern Spain, if you want to eat good hearty fish this is the place to go.

For Girona:

  • Casa Marieta - 100 year old restaurant on the Plaça de la Independencia. For a traditional Catalan treat try the Canelones de ceps, which are pasta tubes stuffed with ceps, which are local mushrooms from the area, and baked with a béchamel sauce on top.

  • Rocambolesc Ice Cream - A fairly new establishment by the Roca brothers, local Michelin star chefs who have won the "best restaurant" award multiple times. Rocambolesc serves whimsical gourmet ice cream that's out of this world. To keep with the Game of Thrones spirit of Girona, try the hand of Jamie Lannister in the form of an ice cream lol!
