Spain 2003: We did a quick 7 day hard blast across North Spain, the Eastern coastal seafood is not happy (and neither am I) but we did pluck some oysters out of an area that has strong rivers flowing into the bay so oil has come nowhere near them, scary fresh stuff.......We dined mostly at local spots, places that specialized in one type of food, we BYOB'd alot and drank well (mostly old Rioja back to 1947).....2001 will be monumental for Spain overall in wine....

Passadis Del Pep (Barcelona) off the charts seafood 3*
Botafumeiro (Barcelona) Seafood 1*
Asados Nazareno (Roa, Spain) only serves 5 items: lamb, blood sausage, salad, flan and bread 2*
Carballeira (Lleida, Spain) Seafood Deluxe 3*
Piro (Gratallops, Spain) Catalan Food 2*
El Torreone (Torrisellas, Spain) Carne, Carne, Carne was great, came here 6 years ago and its only better 2*
Restaurant del Remey (Lleida, Spain) simple but nice 1* El Agua (Villafranca del Bierzo, Sapin) 1*
Villa Laguardia (Laguardia, Spain) 1* (about two restaurants could be 2* if you like eating things like pig's feet stuffed with cod wraped in filo and fried, or snout and ear pie....I dont like these things, maybe I can get the picture of me putting the snout on my nose??)
(THE WHOLE GROUP AGREED WITH THE SCORES)
