Blanes, primer port de la costa brava vinguent del Maresme. Port de pescadors. Quan entres als…read moreTerrasans, un dels llocs amb mes caliu de la contrada, pots veure les històries de pescadors vells jugant al domino, de la gent normal del poble fa 40 anys anant a fer el cafe, el vermut o el solisombra. En definitiva, al seure en una de les taules del seu menjador pots sentir bocins d'història contra la teva anima. I si a tot això li sumes uns preus competitius i uns calamars a la romana casi de somni, no se que es el que necessites per venir a provarlos de primera ma.

The leader of our group (the one who organized the trip) found this place on a list of hidden gems…read moreonline somewhere. We ended up going here our very first night in town when we were all exhausted and sleep deprived. I must say, it may have been our first dinner in Spain, but it was also our best. Pitcher upon pitcher of sangria and food that tasted like it someone's grandmother prepared it with a ton of love. Everything about this place felt like we were guests in someone's home. The service was tremendous and they tried their best to explain things to us that we weren't quite getting. The acorn fed Iberian ham was melt in your mouth good. The seafood was delicious. We really soaked in our first night here and felt so welcome. If I'm ever back this way I'm 100% going back. If you ever get to Lloret de Mar and want to get away from the touristy spots, this is a good place to check out. Loved it.

I ordered the 1/4 chicken plate that came with a salad and fries that were amazing!!!! They could have just served me a plate of fries and I would have been happy. My honey ordered the steak plate, the meat was so juicy and tender. I wish we had room for dessert because those looked amazing too.

We were in Lloret de Mar, a beach town north of Barcelona…read more When it came time to eat, it was obvious we should NOT choose any places that are right on the strand. Those kinds of places are full of drinking kids on vacation. Luckily there was a Google review about La Lonja that sounded promising. And it was just a couple blocks away from the beach. We ordered a plate with mussels, clams, shrimp and rice. It was like Paella but better. The stock was out of this world. My friends and I spent the whole meal trying to figure out just what was in that stock. It was the best meal of the entire trip. The staff was very friendly but mentioned they would tell us the recipe, but would have to kill us afterward. LOL So glad I spotted the review from Kaitlyn B!

There were four of us. We had the 10 tapas to start which was a nice tasting. We then moved on to…read morepaella which we ate until we almost burst it was that good. There was no room for dessert. The Sangria, white and red, was well balanced.
