"Just" a sandwich

Again, a typical place from Barcelona. It's one of my favourites, where you can eat something cheap at any time. Many people from Barcelona come here and take a sandwich every week.
Can Conesa started half a century ago and now its sausage sandwiches are known all over the city, and probably beyond. The formula is quite simple: good bread previously heated in the grill and good ingredients in it. Mmmmm, I feel like eating one of those...



The place is open the whole day and it's located in the city centre, at Plaça Sant Jaume, at the end of the Llibreteria St. In this square you can find the City Hall and the Regional Government, so while you are eating your sandwich and drinking your cold beer, you may find a prostitute's demonstration asking for their right to work on the street or maybe some workers from the Seat car factory asking for help. Don't panic, that's quite common. Can Conesa is at the Gotic district, what makes the bar very helpful when you are visiting Barcelona. Saturday midday is a great moment to taste the sandwiches.



But, if you are in Barcelona and want to go out on a Friday night, you may feel the temptation of going there. Forget the idea, it's not worth it: usually the queue is so long that you would die before you have bit the sandwich. I will talk about some secret places for those occasions some other day.
By the way, I almost forgot there are also good pizzas and fine salads to refresh yourself during the hot Barcelona's summer.
