An authentic taste of Spain
An authentic taste of Spain
Holidaymakers seeking a taste of real Spain are in luck, The Times claims. For "the most authentic barbecue experience" they'll ever have, travellers should make their way to Els Tres Tombs.
Just 25 miles west of
Barcelona, Els Tres Tombs offers hungry visitors the chance to roll their sleeves up and cook up a feast. The "simple" premise is that you bring your own food and make use of the 18 kilns and the outdoor stove, and wash it all down with the "dangerously drinkable" cava, produced by its own vineyard.
This is local, rural
Spain that comes alive with several generations of Spanish families every weekend; during the week Els Tres Tombs concentrates on wine producing. Nevertheless, when the kilns are open for business, for just £2 per head, anyone can experience this "eating, drinking, shouting community of noise and flavour".
While you're waiting for the fire to get going, find the shop and stock up on cava, for £3 per bottle, and chorizo and olives. This "couldn't be further" from the British back-garden barbecue and "will change your idea of what a barbecue should be about".
