Can Conesa on Carrer de la Llibreteria near the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona has been a city sandwich institution since it opened in 1951, building a reputation as one of Barcelona’s most celebrated bocadillo and entrepà destinations — the Catalan sandwich tradition that has been feeding the people of Barcelona’s old city for generations. It appeared in Season 26, Episode 1 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Belly Up to Barcelona,” which aired January 6, 2017, as part of Guy Fieri’s Barcelona episode. Guy Fieri found a Barcelona kitchen doing Catalan sandwiches from scratch with the ingredient quality and historic tradition that earns a sandwich shop its multigenerational loyal following in one of Europe’s great food cities.

What to Eat
The Entrepà — the Catalan-style sandwich on fresh pan de pagès with quality Iberian meats, tortilla española, or house-made fillings — is the sandwich that earns Can Conesa its Gothic Quarter reputation and the reason lines form outside one of Barcelona’s most historic sandwich counters. The Tortilla de Patatas Sandwich with Spanish potato omelette on fresh bread is the everyday Catalan lunch item that earns its own devoted following among the office workers and visitors who have discovered the counter.
