WAVE JOURNEY Women's Adventures, Vacations & Experiences ~ Your Journey Starts Here!

Anytime we are looking for a great place to eat in a town or city that is unfamiliar to us, we
wander the streets and look for busy places full of locals. Sure, the odd tourist will have the
same idea we do - searching out the local joints - but for the most part we are surrounded by
the natives... and that's a good thing. Wandering along Barcelona's Las Ramblas, in search of
more great tapas, we spotted the hustle and bustle at Cerveceria Naviera. Anywhere that busy
is worth a closer look...
Stepping inside the entrance we were greeted by a selection of tapas - hot and cold - that
instantly started our mouths salivating and our gastric juices rumbling.
The further inside we ventured into this incredibly
busy cave-like building, the more tapas selection we
found. We were surrounded! At first there was
nowhere to sit, so we scoured the cerveceria to try
and spot anyone that may be close to finishing.
Luckily for us, right at the tapas bar a couple of
women were paying their bill, so we stood directly
behind them and claimed ownership of their soon to
be vacant seats.
For us, not understanding most of the Spanish
menu, the decision was made easier by being able
to point to the items we wanted to sample. Of
course we need a beer to accompany whatever our
choices may be, so two large beers were the first
order.
Then we decided to each have one of the small cold
tapas. Viv went for the pickled herring on the left
and Jill decided the deep-fried croquette with an
olive was what she was wanting. Both turned out to
be very good and left us wanting more.
With that in mind, we decided to share a plate of
deep-fried calamares. The portion was just enough
for the two of us to share, incredibly fresh and
delicious.
