Morryssom
Don’t be fooled by this spot’s plain exterior. Step inside and you’ll find “a righteous tapas place,” as Guy describes it. In addition to standard Spanish tapas such as croquettes, you’ll find unexpected culinary gems on the menu. Guy raved about the fork-tender quail cooked in vinegar.

Can Vilaró
Tourists and locals alike head to Can Vilaro to load up on traditional Catalan dishes. Run by the same family since the 1960s, this unfussy spot specializes in slow-cooked classics such as cap i pota, a warming veal stew.

El Pacífico
Guy stopped by this beachside spot, which he deemed a “rocking tapas and paella joint” to sample the signature dishes. He was left impressed by the surf and turf paella.

Pulpería A Gudiña
This tiny tapas joint doesn’t skimp on the flavor, as evidenced by the menu of small plates cooked up in the classic style of Galicia, Spain’s northwestern coastal region. Guy headed here to introduce pro football player Marcel Reece to a popular Galician-style dish: pulpo (aka octopus). Tender morsels of octopus are dusted with both sweet and smoky paprika, then slicked with a generous squirt of olive oil and paired with potatoes. “It’s like the most-tender lobster you’ll ever try,” Guy declared.

Can Conesa
This cozy spot draws the crowds with its beauteous bocadillos (that’s Spanish for sandwiches). Served fresh off a searing-hot panini press, they come stuffed with regional meats. A standout is the Carn D’olla, which features a hefty baguette that’s heaped with caramelized onions and grilled pork sausages, then doused with a spicy housemade sauce. Gluten-free options are available as well, with Guy pointing out that "no matter how they make 'em, these sandwiches are all about Old-World flavor."

Restaurant Cal Boter
Crowds head to this homey restaurant to dig into classic Catalan dishes, such as snails. Even snail skeptic Guy was left impressed by this dish. The snails soak up plenty of flavor when they’re cooked in water seasoned with chile de arbol, herbes de Provence and thyme. They’re served in a white wine sauce studded with ham and chorizo, which kicks the flavor up even further. "Super tender," Guy said. "There’s good spice from the chorizo; the broth itself is dynamite. It’s a lot of big flavor."
