A trip to Spain wouldn't be complete without sampling some of the rustic cuisine the nation is famous for, and if you book a break in cheap Barcelona hotels, you'll be well-placed to partake in a vast variety of dishes. Barcelona is a cultural hotspot and it's no wonder, as the city is the capital of the historic Catalonia region. The settlement draws thousands of visitors each year for its rich past, vibrant arts and golden sands - in addition to its tasty tapas. If you'd like to conserve money, booking into cheap hostels is a great way of saving cash you can then spend elsewhere. The accommodation will be basic, but if you don't mind not having any added luxuries you could find yourself able to have a more enjoyable break in other ways. Once you've settled in, you can begin exploring the city for the best tapas bars. One of the most popular - and also among the most exclusive - is Cal Pep, where you can sample fresh seafood tapas. Expect the eatery to be busy as a result of its excellent reputation and be prepared to pay more than you might at less fashionable establishments. Head to the lively Quimet i Quimet for some tasty treats - the authentic bodega serves up cheese, tuna, pickles, salmon and caviar, but if you can't decide which titbits to try, ask for an assembled plate. If you'd like to experience unique flavours, make your way to Kabara, where the food has a Middle Eastern-influence. You can tuck into traditional patas bravas and pinchos, but for something different why not sample the shrimps in sesame sauce or smoked beef with pa amb tomaquet? Another great spot to visit is the intimate La Divinia in the Gothic Quarter. Here you can tickle your taste buds with anchovies in vinegar, langostinos in garlic or pimientos del pardon - savoury chilli snacks. To experience some thriving Catalonia culture, be sure to call in at La Boqueria Market. You can browse the stalls and pick up preserves and candied goods before stopping for a bite to eat at one of the tiny restaurants here. Visit Casa Jacinta to sample venison pate, aubergine mousse and mashed potatoes with coriander cream, or make your way to traditional Taberna Basca Irati and enjoy some rustic tapas, such as pintxos montaditos. The list of tapas bars to visit in Barcelona is endless - why not book your break today and take a look for yourself?
