In this part of the traditional dishes in Greece, Italy and Spain can be quite different.

2. Barcelona version of Mediterranean cuisine is different, oddly enough, a lot of fish dishes. It is strange because Barcelona is located on the beach, but to marine life somehow indifferent. Barselontsev love meat.

5. In Barcelona, very few supermarkets. Apparently, this is due to the fact that local residents have long ceased to cook at home.
