Hi, Talk of Poble Sec (my local barrio) has persuaded me to start posting. Carnes Colom has 2 branches there - the other is on Blasco de Garay, between C/Elkano & Placa Sortidor. This might be better for you - its open in the evenings, the head butcher usually works from that branch & its nearer Quimet i Quimet! All, or most, of their beef is organic (I think from a farm in Girona?) - & I'd be really interested to know what you think of it, as I haven't tried it yet. I don't know how long its hung, but it (at least the meat on display) does look less marbled than that in Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Meat book. I think this may be because many of his local customers associate organic with low fat/'health' food? But the butcher is really helpful, & is happy to prepare/order special cuts & to talk meat. If you find anything better, do let me know! Sally
