How much are tapas in Barcelona?

Take a seat on a terraza in one of Barcelona's many squares and have some simple tapas. These will run you about €4–€6 each depending on where you are, and you can add on a caña for €2.50–€3.50. One of our favorite places to watch the world go by over a drink is Bar Canigó in Gracia.
