Mexican Fiesta in Barcelona

One of the biggest festivals happening in Barcelona this month is the Mexican festival for Independence day. This Mexican festival, Mexican Independence Day is celebrated September 15^th and is the most important non-religious holiday in Mexico. The fiesta is celebrated as part of the Semana de Mexico Festival which includes a wonderful array of food, mariachis which is the 5 piece guitar group playing traditional Mexican music. Also they have gritos which are ritual shouts or cries of freedom and independence and of course it wouldn’t be Mexican without tequila!

The city of Barcelona will be painted with all the colours of Mexico and the events taking place at Plaza Reial and Poble Espanyol.

Fish and Chip Shop in Barcelona

The city had almost everything except a Fish and chip shop in Barcelona. Well just a couple of months ago in June that all changed and now there is officially a Fish and chip shop in Barcelona. The aptly titled "Fish and Chip Shop" opened June and is located in Ramblas de Raval amongst the many kebab shops in the area. The city has been crying out for a Fish and Chip shop in Barcelona due to the many ex pats who live there. So far the shop has received positive reviews and offers everything you would expect from a local chippy. From Fish and Chips to Sausage suppers and it even has the traditional scottish drink "Irn Bru" for those north of the border.
Apart from being a favourite with those living in the city. the Fish and Chip Shop in Barcelona is popular with those tourists renting Barcelona accommodation who happen to come across the shop.

Getting There
The best way to get to the Fish and chip shop in Barcelona from Las Ramblas is to go to the bottom at Drassanes and take Calle Sant Pau. Or you can take the same street from the other side at Avenida Parallel. If you are further away from the centre then take the green line metro to either Drassanes or Parallel.
