Cal Chusco

With apologies to Sants, if there's one neighbourhood in Barcelona where you can still find a bit of the tradition of free tapas with drinks, it's Barceloneta. And a benchmark of the practice for years has been Cal Chusco, where, when you order a draught beer (€2) or a small bottle of beer (€1.20), they'll accompany it with anything from a plate of ham or cheese to patatas bravas, chistorra sausage, potato omelette, croquettes, or whatever Isabel is up for serving that day. Hers is a kitchen of home-made dishes with a good dose of fish among them, and every day there are five or six different tapas to serve up with the drinks.
