Eating vetegarian tapas is possible too!

Although most people have a quite "carnivorous" concept of tapas, it is perfectly possible to have authentic tapas in a totally vegetarian style!

A couple of weeks ago I had Brian and Bev Bennett, who are really vegetarian foodies. Appart from having a great city tour specially designed to include some of their favorite contemporary architecture, we also enjoyed walking around the Boqueria Market (although we avoided the fish and meat sections as much as possible), stopped at a little great cheese store, and for lunchtime we had some wonderful veggie tapas in one of my favorite bars of the Eixample district.

Here are some of the delicacies we tried:
- Grilled green asparagus.
- Thinly sliced fried artichokes.
- "Bravas" potatoes with spicy sauce.
- A plate of Spanish cheese.
- Melted 4-cheeses "pintxos" (Basque toasts)
- Season vegetables mil-feuilles.
- "Calçots" green onions with Romesco sauce.

And I might still be missing something out.
They were so happy with our choices, and there were still other specialties we didn't try. They were amazed they had eaten so much and still there were other vegetarian options in the menu left!

It's not the first time I take vegetarian eating tapas, and it's usually easy to have a nice varied lunch in a couple of wonderful restaurants I know.
I haven't given a complete 4h veggie tapas tour hoping from bar to bar, but I imagine that could work aswell. I'd even daring enough to try with a non-dairy / vegan tapas tour, although I imagine our choices would be much reduced... But as long as there was willingness and good humor, it should also be a successful foody evening!
