### Barcelona

- [Best Restaurants](https://guidavera.com/spain/barcelona/best-restaurants): The four 3-star houses are the obvious answer. The other sixteen are where the list gets interesting. Markdown: https://guidavera.com/spain/barcelona/best-restaurants/llms.md

- [Best Paella](https://guidavera.com/spain/barcelona/best-paella): If you hear a faint crackling when the pan arrives, you're in the right place. Markdown: https://guidavera.com/spain/barcelona/best-paella/llms.md

### Madrid

- [Best Cocido Madrileño](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/best-cocido): Cocido madrileño runs from a single fixed-price dish at Casa Carola to Lhardy's version of it as the house signature since 1839. Markdown: https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/best-cocido/llms.md
- [Best Paella and Rice](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/best-paella): At least four of the twelve kitchens on this list price their rice per person with a two-person minimum, so plan on going with company. Markdown: https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/best-paella/llms.md
- [Best Restaurants](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/best-restaurants): Nineteen restaurants, fifteen of them Michelin-starred, from a firewood oven that's roasted cochinillo since 1725 to a four-table Michelin-starred room inside a flamenco tablao.
