Tapas bars and restaurant in Barcelona
There’s nothing more synonymous with Spanish cuisine than tapas, the
tradition of eating small dishes as an appetizer, snack or in combination to
form a main meal of the day. The latter has become a growing trend worldwide in
recent decades, and that should come as no surprise to food-lovers: after all
what could be better than mixing and matching all the glorious taste sensations
of Spain for supper?
The word ‘tapa’ in Spanish means ‘lid’, and ‘tapas’ is simply its
plural form. There are many cited origins for the tradition of eating tapas,
and how they got their name, with the most romantic featuring King Alfonso X in
a starring role.

Crime & Safety in Barcelona
In comparison with
other western countries, violent crime is relatively uncommon in Spain. In
fact, one of the attractions for expats is the sense of safety that many feel
when walking around cities such as Barcelona. However petty street crime is
rife in the city and precautions should be taken to make sure you don’t fall
victim to a mugging or bag snatch incident. Common sense behavior such as not
carrying large amounts of money or ensuring bags are securely closed are as
important here as any other city. Pickpockets work in groups, and are experts
in diversion techniques. If someone tries to attract your attention or bumps
into you, be especially aware as this could be a purse snatch in action.
One particular scam
is to throw a liquid similar to bird droppings on a person. This person is then
approached by an apparently well-meaning passer-by offering to help to clean
off the offending liquid, and then the victim discovers later that items are
missing.

Barcelona Working Permits
As an expat in Barcelona wanted to live and work as well, you must
obtain a residency and working permit, notoriously elusive pieces of paper work
that require any number of documents, depending on your purpose in the country.
The two permits are tied together in Spain.
Only European Union (EU) nationals do need special authorization or a
work permit to live and be employed in Spain, though, it is advised that these
individuals register as residents in Spain.
Non-EU nationals, on the other hand, will have a long and tedious
process to look forward to, and in most cases, it’s necessary to have a
contract of employment before you can apply for a work permit; a legality which
can result in a Catch-22 situation, as many employers won’t offer you a job
without a work permit, but it’s necessary to have a job contract to apply for a
work permit.
