Sleep 8 hours a day, cook healthy, do the laundry, clean your house, and besides that work 8 hours a day, and still have a life to live … bull shit!

Unless you can find a way to make the days longer than 24 hours, there is no way to have a healthy and organized life and yet have time live it.

So forget about everything, just work to survive and seize every moment as if it was the last, and then rest and eat healthy during the weekends.

Hence as the Dalai Lama would say, just come to a jam session on any Tuesday in the Harlem and sing as if no one was hearing you, or come any other day to a concert and dance as if no one was watching at you, and then love as if you haven’t been hurt.

Maybe you have spent your last holiday savings on that sombrero in the tourist shop in the Barceloneta with your friends questioning your judgement and now, with your new found treasure, you find yourself a little short on cash.

Or perhaps you are just a frugal spender looking to make the most of your stay. It could be you are visiting Barcelona from abroad and sink your head when you look at the exchange rate.

This is the restaurant for you. Even those of you who have bank accounts where the money flows like water, will enjoy this genuine, friendly tapas restaurant in Horta. The price is low, the quality high.

Get there before 21:00, even on a weeknight, as the lines have been known to go to the end of the block.  Plates of fuet, a staple food in Spain and outrageously delicious meat, are only 75 cents.  If you want a cup of wine, they just leave a bottle on the table, take what you want throughout the meal and sum it all up later.  No having to waive down your waiter for another cup ever again!

If you have yet to try a “clara”, half beer and half lemon.  Is it healthy? Of course not. It has more sugar in it then a candy bar, but what the fuck?!

Whoever invented it deserves the an award.  And who knows, after all these cheap eats you may just have enough money left over to get one more sombrero.

Mediterranean multicultural cuisine in a wide space to eat healthy and tasteful in a relaxing atmosphere.

Due the quantity they serve you, I wouldn’t consider it a gourmet meal. And if you take the self service salad open bar you’ve got to bring your tupperware.

The vegan paella Boqueria is a must! And to reach the climax, get an holistic massage after dessert.
