Bombas

The next thing that we have on the menu is Bombas. During the Spanish Civil war, when Barcelona was in danger, many revolutionaries roamed around the slummy streets of Barcelona with some handmade grenades. These tiny grenades were extremely powerful and effective and this inspired the local chefs to invent an all-new Barcelona dish the “la bomba”.

Bombas is of a tennis ball size croquette, which is made up of potato and it served with different sauces, two to be precise actually. One is the white garlic allioli and the creamy, spicy red sauce. Bombas are super tasty, and a must try, primarily because of the rich history attached to it!

Where to eat?

Luckily, Bombas is served in a lot of places; however, the best place to try bombas is La bombeta.

It is a bread rubbed with garlic and seasoned with black pepper, olive oil, and some salt. The tomato juice is spread all across the bread, and this is what makes it so delicious. You can either have it alone or with some other dishes too. Some restaurants here in Barcelona will serve the ingredients separately. They will often come with cheese or slices of meat.
