The Villa Emilia Hotel is a bit unusual in that it's a three-star hotel that's not associated with any large hotel group. You could say it's a neighbourhood establishment, as it's where many local residents and workers stop in for a good lunch of traditional Catalan cuisine with French touches. For €9 you can get a vermouth aperitif with anchovies, olives and crisps. And every day, from 7pm to 10pm, they give talks on wines from around the world.
