El Nogal Restaurant

Okay, so we had arrived at our hotel and I was gasping for a tea or coffee. We headed out into the city and one block along Carrer de Diputacio we arrived at El Nogal restaurant.



It was in El Nogal that we discovered most bars and restaurants have hams hanging up.



We also found something that was typical of all the bars, cafes and restaurants we visited in Barcelona - service was pleasant and helpful (though one minor example a couple of days later at a different restaurant was a small fly in the ointment on our visit.)
