Fortunately, the Catalan diet is a Mediterranean one, featuring lots of fish, olive oil, and fresh fruits and vegetables; meats tend to be served in moderate portions or to season a dish.

By the way, some travelers are surprised to learn that Spanish food is rarely spicy – it’s quite different from Mexican and Latin American cuisine. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that while your taste buds will be indulged, the overall diet on our trips is reasonably healthy.
