The memory of this place gives me will accompany all life. It was morning and in Barcelona it was raining a lot, heavy and strong rain and we without an umbrella. Looking for the Santa Caterina market with the rain right up to the shirt, we moved away from the Rambla and arrived inside the Gothic Quarter.
There are many things I don't know how to do abroad, sometimes they catch me with extra liquid in my suitcase at the airport or other things like that: P but one thing characterizes me: I have a sixth sense for the locals where you don't see the shadow of a tourist. And so it was also for the Bar Mariatchi. In a narrow alley in the Barrio Gotico I stopped, took a peek and went inside.
Here we got one beer, it was only 12 in the morning, but it was not a coffee bar, it was a bar ... a bar: D That it was a place frequented by locals, we realized immediately. Here entered the scavengers who were cleaning up the city to get a beer (while at work) and some chips brought in a plastic bag. After our beer we went to pay and decided to try the mead.
Il very kind sir let us try hers mead made totally by him. Not too strong, alcoholic, but delicious we threw down the mead, if it weren't for the fact that the gentleman then made us also try his vermouth, also made this al 100% from him. In short, we also tried the vermouth. The very kind owner charged us only for the beer and before leaving he told us to be careful with the bags and the camera that the neighborhood was not too recommendable. We are go out a little bit tipsy.
The place is nothing special, it's not a beautiful place with dilapidated mirrors and lights, but it's delicious. There is also one hanging on the wall guitar with a sign on it, anyone can take it and start playing. Here mead and vermouth are sold. The mead is € 10 a bottle, € 16 for 2 bottles and € 20 for 3 bottles. Vermouth on the other hand is cheaper, it costs € 6 a bottle, € 10 2 bottles and € 12 3 bottles. There are also some beautiful gift baskets to mix the two.
