Chef Andrés, in your book you mention a few small restaurants and tapas bars that many of us here on eGullet are equally fond of, such as Quimet i Quimet in Barcelona and Rafa's in Roses. I am positive that a lot of us curious and adventurous eGulleters would love to know if you have any other equally delicious restaurants (or, better yet, hidden secret gems) in Spain that you would like to share with us.

I have to agree with Chef Andres, I recently visited El Campero, and it's been one of the best meals I've had in quite a while. We had 7 or 8 tuna dishes, all different parts of the fish, I definitely recommend it.
We''ve opened Pazzta 920, a fresh pasta stall in the Boqueria Market. follow the thread here.
