Ernest Hemingway faced a few rough Barcelona mornings himself, some reportedly at Bar Marsella, the city’s oldest tavern in the now hip El Born district. A few blocks down from Marsella, is the tiny but welcoming Mosquito. The house specialty is delectable dim sum, including house-made dumplings. Mosquito also stocks dozens of local and international brews, for experimenting with Papa Hemingway’s own reported hangover remedy: beer and tomato juice. mosquitotapas.com
