¡La Champañería!

Today Holly and I ventured through the Barri Gothic (because the metro was stopped due to some illegal immigrants selling purses and being arrested at another station... thus our station was stopped, so we decided to walk in the sunshine) to the Beach to go to La Champañería. This was my first time there and so glad I was able to go!

La Champañería is right next to the Barceloneta metro stop and right next to Port Vell on a side street. The cool thing about it is that there is no sign on the outside of where it's located so you kind of have to know where youre going. Another thing is that it's a locals place and is always busy because they make such good food and drinks for ridiculously cheap prices.

We went in and it was packed! Literally you had to sort of push your way through to make it to the bar where the cooks were to order your food and drinks. We met Erika, Afton, Garrett, Kyle and Steve there and were celebrating Erika's 21st bday (nothing like getting tipsy off of champagne at 4 in the afternoon... oh barcelona how i love you). Garrett and I ordered a bottle of champagne rosat (pink champagne) to share which was 4 euro (amazing), and we each got these amazing hamburgers with bacon and pickles for only 3 euros each. Literally the best hamburger ive ever had (if not atleast in my top 3), they're freshly made, and amazing.

So we chatted for a bit, drinking glasses upon glasses of fresh champagne while devouring our hamburgers, then Holly and I walked from the beach up Las Ramblas, stopped at La Boqueria to grab some fresh smoothies then continued walking to our apartments in the sunshine. What a great way to spend a friday afternoon! <3
