    That was such a nice tour guide, he did a great job! And your mom really looks like she’s enjoying herself! The food looked really good - I’m very intrigued about the egg sausage thing, I had never heard of that… I have no clue if that would be good or not. Thanks for the awesome video once again! Your mic is doing a tremendous job at catching all the crunchy sounds, it is not helping my hunger situation over here 😂

    Around 9:08 there's an entrance to the building on your left that is a museum with a restaurant on top. If you talk to the people at entrance you only want to see the rooftop they will leat you go in for free to see an awesome view at the outer part of the restaurant where you can see the entire port and sea. It's 10/10.
    Plus, at the beginning of Palau de Mar you missed the amazing sculture of "The Face of Barcelona".

    Some places I recommend from Barcelona (the next ones are near the centre and super easy to recah)
    - Everything from Gaudí is worth it, but these are the most popular places in the city. So beware of queues and reservations. Since you've already seen the Sagrada Família, I would try to visit Park Güell at least. The other buildings are fine, but seeing the facane is enough, if you don't have time or money for more.
    - Passeig de Gràcia. One of the best city streets, full of gorgeous buildings, fancy restaurants and shops. I recommend walking all across the street from Palau Robert to Plaça Catalunya (it's a 15 minutes walk), if you don't have time, just see Illa de la Discòrdia (the spot with houses from the best architects).
    - Plaça de Sant Jaume (St James square) and its surrounding streets. This is the Gothic quarter. It has two government buildings (Generalitat and Casa de la Ciutat), both were built at the same time and have a similar style. They are austere on the outside but gorgeous inside, visit them inside if you can.
    - Plaça del Rei with its Palau Reial Major (Grand Royal Palace), it's next to the previous place.
    - Santa Maria del Mar and Barcelona Cathedral. These two are gothic churches, you can visit both if you really like them, otherwise visit at least one. The cathedral is supposed to be more important, but some people prefer Santa Maria del Mar because it's 100% a medieval building while the cathedral renovated its facade in the 19th century. You'll soon realise all across Europe that many medieval buildings had 19th century renotivations, it is not only in Barcelona,
    - Ciutadella park. It starts at Arc de Triomf (which you've already seen), but it's worth walking a bit in that park to see Castle of the Three Dragons and the Parliament of Catalonia (just outside), it's really short and near other places from this list.
    - Palau de la Música Catalana. One of the loveliest buildings, and this one should be visited inside.
    - Montjuïc (a hill in the city). It has a fortress and the National Palace which houses the MNAC, the best museum in the city. Both places are worth a visit.
    If you wanna take the metro to more distant neighbourhoods you can also go to...
    - Jardins d'Horta o Horta Gardens with its famous labyrinth
    - Tibidabó (the other hill) with Sagrat Cor church (very pretty) and Collserola tower (maybe the best views of the city)
    - Pedralbes Monastery. Very peaceful and usually without many tourists. There are better monasteries in Catalonia, but they are far away from the city.
    As for food. Taste rabbit the way you please, I personally prefer it cooked in the oven with mushrooms, olive oil, garlic and lemon, but there are alternatives. Rabbit meat almost fat-free and it has a very mild flavour, so the dish flavour depends mostly on the way it's cooked (grilled, stewed, with garlic, with lemon, etc.). Taste snails (I prefer cargols a la llauna, but there are other variants), they are super traditional in Catalonia and they don't have butter unlike the French version which tastes very different. Calçots (grilled spring onions with a typical sauce), it's a fun experience (check pictures in Google) and February is the best month for that. Botifarra (a cooked sausage, you already saw its main varieites in the market), fuet (a dry sausage, it can be eaten in a sandwich, with tomato and olive oil ideally). Coca, it's a bit like pizza, there are many styles, some are savoury and other are sweet. Try sauces like allioli or romesco. For drinks I recommend orxata (sweet and alcohol free, but avoid the ones that are 90% sugar and water). For desserts: Catalan cream or burnt cream, xuixo (cream pastry), menjarblanc (almonds pudding), torró or nougat would be my best recommendations. Sadly, sost Catalan food is difficult to find, because the restaurants are more "tourist-oriented" and have turned the city into a sort of theme park, but it is not impossible.
    Have a good trip.

    ★Important Tip for France★ (I know you’re going to France in a few days.)
    *Start every interaction with “Bonjour” (or “Bonsoir” in the evening). It is **_not_** optional.*
    •If you enter a shop, say “Bonjour” to the store clerk if you see him or her.
    •If you interact with a waiter at a restaurant, say “Bonjour.”
    •If you ask someone in an establishment a question, say “Bonjour.”
    →If you’re asking if a camera is OK, say “Bonjour” first.
    •If you get on a bus, greet the driver with “Bonjour.”
    •If you _enter an elevator_ (and there are other people there), say “Bonjour.”
    That’s the way you begin an interaction in France-you acknowledge and show respect to the other person by saying “Bonjour.”
    If you don’t, the other person will consider you very rude and will ignore you or treat you brusquely.
    And you _don’t_ say “Bonjour!” again to the same person in the same day. (If you do, it’s like you forgot meeting them.)

    Yes, rabbit is a common meal in Catalonia. Croquetas come in two sorts, the ones that we ate are made with eggs and béchamel and stuffing (could be jamón, chicken, spinach). The others that we didn’t try are made from meat that had been used to prepare a stew.

      ​@@silviastanziola659 Rabbits exist everywhere. Yet, how many restaurants, butcher shops and supermarkets actually sell rabbit meat in American countries?
      As a Catalan, my experience talking to Americans and other foreigners is that hardly anyone is used to eating rabbit. More people see rabbits as pets than food. This is also one of the reasons why restaurants for tourists purposely avoid rabbit dishes. They don't want to scare foreign customers. Catalan restaurants still sell it and the rabbit meat consumption in Catalonia was 4.31 kg per person and year, though it is now declining..

      @@Enric. here in Canada you can find rabbit at supermarkets - usually the nicer ones, but it’s not too hard to find. A decent number of people here still hunt and are familiar with game meat. No clue about the U.S.. In Brazil rabbit is hard to come by, but I remember that my Portuguese grandpa was familiar with them and butchered a bunch of rabbits for our neighbour (who was raising them for the meat), and in return got to keep some of them to eat. I have a pretty vivid memory of a poor rabbit hung on the wall to bleed out (already dead). Anyhow, that’s not a common thing in Brazil though, you don’t see rabbit meat for sale in the supermarket very easily there. It’s not impossible to find either, but it’s a fancier meat, not a lot of restaurants will serve it outside of fine dining.
