Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain and is considered the gastronomic capital of the country. Catalonia was at various times under the rule of the Romans, Huns and Moors, which was reflected not only in the culture and architecture, but also in the cuisine of this autonomous region. Obviously, tourists are wondering where to eat deliciously and relatively inexpensively in Barcelona without causing significant damage to their budget. First of all, keep in mind that the further the cafe is from the center, the less tourist flow there is and the cheaper breakfast, lunch and dinner will cost you. However, even in the center of Barcelona you will find budget options to satisfy your hunger. I will offer you several options, and you decide what to do and how much you want to eat.
If you want to save money, I recommend buying ready-made food in a supermarket, for example Mercadona, Día, Caprabo, Lidl, Bon Preu Group, Carrefour, Al Campo. Addresses of supermarkets and detailed information can be found on the website: https: / /www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Supermarkets&find_loc=Barcelona.
Now I will give you approximate prices for some products in supermarkets in Barcelona:
- cottage cheese (1 kg.) - 4.40 euros;
- rice (1 kg.) 0.90 euros;
- cheese (1 kg.) - 8-15 euros;

Another option is a market, namely the Boqueria market - La Boqueria, located on the boulevard Rambla 91. To get there, take the green L3 metro line, stop Liceu.
There are so many products here that you can even get confused. Open every day except Sunday - 08:00-20:30.
Street eating is common all over the world, but it has only gained popularity in Barcelona in recent years, as the sale of street food was banned in the Catalan capital until 2014. Currently, alternatives to various kiosks or counters include cheap tapas bars, numerous pizzerias, Asian cafes, and Turkish cab houses. The 100 Montaditos chain prepares a variety of sandwiches and drinks and often holds promotions. The specialty of the famous Spanish chain of stores Rodilla is mainly pastries. Pans and Company is the Spanish version of McDonald's restaurant.
It will be relatively cheap in those establishments that operate on a buffet basis. Here for 10-15 euros you will be offered breakfast, first and second courses, salads, dessert, drinks. Popular among them are FrescCo, Wok Dao, La Vaca Paca.
On weekdays you will save if you order a set dinner, the so-called "Menu of the day".
