Yelp Dinner Party@Telefèric Barcelona ★★★

Free Fun Party Event. Authentic Spanish cuisine.Free food & drinks with bottomless Sangria. Fun swags. I signed up on Yelp & got in. Came solo & mingle with new friendly Yelp friends. Amazing Tapas & Paellas. Served family style with serving utensils. Pesto Chicken Kebab was juicy with a hint of curry. Nice Broccolini. Mixta Paella had shrimp, seafood & meat. Flavorful & crispy. I always had a hard time choosing which Sangria to go with. With unlimited Sangria this time, I tried all 3 – Barcelona Sangria was easy to drink and great to start with. Telefèric Sangria was stronger with nice kick of cinnamon. Spicy Sangria is good with the flavorful paella with the spiciness. Live DJ Miles Dipaola in the house. Valet $13, 1 hour metered street parking, or impossible street parking around the block.

Cheers
