Barcelona restaurants - El Kiosko

It is a clear, cold December morning, one degree below freezing, and the sky is the kind of blue that can only exist in the Mediterranean as I sit, waiting for someone and a plane to arrive. Airports are places where you always have time on your hands, waiting for your plane, for the person you are going to collect, or waiting to be collected. You wait to check in, wait to have your luggage X-rayed and wait to board a plane. As a result airports are good places to have cafes and bars.

El Kiosco seems to be open at any time of day or night - for a parting beer or, as on this occasion, a café solo and bocadillo de jamón for breakfast. It is close to arrivals and you can sit at one of the stools to the bar while watching people emerge through the sliding doors or wondering where people are going to or coming from - the coffee was good, the bocadillo too - total price 650 ptas.

Terminal A, Barcelona Airport

 

 

NOTE: El Kiosko closed after the terminal building was extended, to be replaced by a chain.
