In the past three years, Barcelona has made itself the vermouth capital of the world. Hundreds of establishments there now make house-made vermouth — from posh restaurants to two-stool hole-in-the-wall sidewalk joints. 

You can't understand the new Barcelona without understanding its vermouth culture. 

So Amira and I brought our gastronomads to the spectaculicious Bodega Els Sortidors del Parlament — our favorite vermouth and tapas restaurant.

Yada, yada, yada — it's safe to say we all formed a personal relationship with vermouth. And had some mind-blowing tapas to go with it!

What a night. Unforgettable. 

If you have a time machine, I highly recommend going back in time and joining our Gastronomad Experience in Spain. If you don't have one, make sure you join a future experience in Italy or France!
