Xiroi Ca La Nuri: Summer Vibes All Year Long

 
Caipirinha, Spicy Potatoes, and Piña Colada at Xiroi Ca La Nuri in Barcelona

Today, we are visiting La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou where the 1992 Summer Olympics were held. I made my way to the nearest restaurant/bar overlooking the Mediterranean: Xiroi Ca La Nuri. Since 1962, this place has been serving the freshest of tapas and the booziest of drinks. 

I sat on their terrace while enjoying some spicy fried potatoes topped with two sauces of mayo and salsa brava representing freedom and glory, respectively. The cocktails were tropical and complemented the view of the Mediterranean. 

The other stuff on the menu looks pretty good. In terms of pricing, it's not expensive. I'd come back the next time I'm strolling the beaches of Barcelona.

Piña Colada at Xiroi Ca La Nuri in Barcelona

Here's their cocktails. I got a Caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail. It's made with cachaça, sugar and lime. I know I'm not in Brazil but the lime overload was just what I needed on this sunny day.

And, I also got their Piña Colada. Slushy and refreshing.

The Spicy Potatoes at Xiroi Ca La Nuri are awesome. The salsa brava was extra chunky with tomatoes and red peppers. I liked that. [4.95 Euros]
