Everything Barcelona visitors need to know about the low-alcohol daytime affair, best enjoyed with canned seafood, cheeses, and olives. In Spain, vermouth is a verb as much as a noun — a lifestyle as much as a drink. Although an appetite-inducing glass of ice-cold vermouth is a thing of beauty on a Sunday afternoon, the drink, a bittersweet fortified wine that’s spiked with booze and infused with botanicals, is in many cases less important than its place in the city’s social fabric.

Seven meals a day won’t be enough There are some things you can be fairly sure of when you’re visiting Barcelona — a city that, as a travel destination, is not exactly untread territory. First and most reliably, there will be jamón. There will be Gaudí. There will be crusty hunks of bread rubbed with tomato and tall glasses of vermouth spritzed with soda — the latter preferably consumed in the late morning near a gathering of loud elder Catalonians.
