Where to Eat During the Mobile World Congress

This year the Mobile World Congress will again be taking place in Barcelona. And as everyone already knows, there will be plenty of sandwiches served throughout the event. These sandwiches will be handed out for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and will probably be made with baguettes rubbed with tomato and topped with slices of Spain´s famous dry-cured ham (jamón).
There will also likely be sandwiches featuring Manchego cheese, another fabulous Spanish product. Although they are delicious at first, you are bound to tire of these bocadillos (that´s Spanish for sandwich!) eventually and you´ll crave something local and substantial, a meal that shows off some of the best this city has to offer. So why not pop out for a delicious xató salad or perhaps treat yourself to some tapas (small plates) and a drink with colleagues after the conference. We have selected our top 5 restaurants around the Fira Gran Via, that will allow you to enjoy the cuisine of Barcelona, capital of Catalonia!
