If you didn't know that I was in Spain before, let me tell you I arrived in Barcelona this afternoon and after figuring out the far too sophisticated lighting system in my tiny yet incredibly well situated hotel room, I caught up on my email and found the nearest vegetarian restaurant.
Madrid doesn't have veggie restaurants (not that my hometown does)- I had to negotiate with the waiters in half of the restaurants to convince them that I really did just want salad. Here I've found half a dozen through different websites and I'm going to see how many I can stop into.
The reason I'm so in love right now is multifaceted. Look at the pics and then I'll explain.
The food looked better than it tasted. There was no spice palette. But the ambiance made the under ten euro meal more than a value. The lights were subdued with mismatching shades over each table and the saffron and almond painted brick walls were adorned with contemporary interpretations of Gaudi's work. It's fun to look at your surroundings and get goosebumps.
