Very popular restaurant, with tapas, "pa amb tomàquet" and everything else. Affordable prices, but it's better to book because it uses to be crowded. This is the historical one, but there is another new Bombeta at passeig Joan de Borbó, "La Bombeta del Port".

Traveler advice
Getting around
Pickpockets
Be careful with your belongings on the beach and metro: there are pickpockets who take advantage of any carelessness.
Ways to save
Restaurants
The restaurants near the port (Joan de Borbó Street) and on the beach are very touristy and not recommended. Look around the interior of the neighborhood, they are more authentic and often cheaper places.
