Some restaurants serve tapas. Others live them. Boqueria belongs to the latter. Born from a deep love of Barcelona’s tapas bar culture, Boqueria has always celebrated not just the food of Spain, but the rhythm of it: the clink of vermouth glasses, the buzz of bartenders shouting out orders, the shared joy of unpretentious perfection.
Some recipes scream summer without saying a word. Judías con Melocotón is one of them. Straight from the Boqueria playbook, it’s a dish that takes the simplest of ingredients—crisp green beans, ripe peaches—and lets them sing in harmony. Sweet meets savory, warm meets cool, and suddenly you have a plate that feels like a breeze off the Mediterranean.
If Hemingway thrown tomatoes instead of run with the bulls, he might have written La Tomatina into the canon. But then again, maybe not. The chaos in Buñol every August is less about honor and more about absurdity, abandon, and the deep, primal joy of a food fight on a massive scale.
From weddings to graduations to the simple fact that winter is finally over, there is no shortage of things to celebrate in Spring. Planning an event, no matter the size, can be overwhelming. The list of to-dos can feel miles long with everything from photography to florals.
Walking down the streets of Spain in the late afternoon you might double check your watch, confused to see tables full of Spaniards enjoying what looks to be lunch. No, the jetlag isn’t making you hallucinate. In Spain, lunch still occurs much later in the afternoon than most other countries, usually around 2 or 3pm.
