Una hamburguesa, por favor

Hamburguesa. I had yet to encounter a Spanish hamburger other than the beef patties Mercedes has served us at dinner a couple times. Well, today was the day that all changed. After spanish class, Anjali and I met up to go try out Bacoa. Bacoa is the place to go in Barcelona for a good burger. It's tucked away on a street behind Santa Caterina Market in the Born area. Anjali and I were their first two customers for lunch today. Surprise, surprise. We both ordered the Burger con Manchego, which included lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onions. All squished between a home-cooked, sesame bun. After adding a touch of picante sauce and taking some necessary photos, I took a bite out of my burger. Delicious! Salivating! Flavorful! Finger-licking good! Anjali and I were two happy campers and so were our bellies.
Today was also the first time I walked through Santa Caterina Market, which I found to be beautiful and airy. This market feels more open and tidier than La Boqueria. I also spotted an adorable looking restaurant in Santa Caterina that I mentally jotted down as a place to take my mom and aunt when they visit. Hooray for visitors!
