Pan con Tomate / Bread with Tomatoe

Or rather "Pa amb Tòmaquet" is a typical dish in Barcelona and all Catalunya. It's a toast bread spread with garlic, tomatoes, salt and olive oil.

The legend says that during the Civil War in Spain, the people did not have fresh bread every day, so they slathered it with tomatoe to make it softer and less dry.

There is also another legend that says that the Catalans people are so stingy, in order not to make bread every day, they rubbed leftovers of the previus days with tomatoe and olive oil so that it seems more fresh and soft.

In any case we recommend to take this typical dish in every one of the restuarants and bars in Barcelona.
