I have to admit: my Spanish is painfully close to nonexistent. Si. Luckily, with some French; English and expressive mimicking, you go a long way. Restaurants are usually no problem. In Barcelona, most of the time, you can happily point at the picture of the food you like. And it will show up on your plate some later, in a slightly different form, proving that these photographers and their Photoshop colleagues really do miracles. Some restaurants go lengths translating their menu in English. The one we ate at yesterday happily offered “tail of Quick Shave”. Honestly: I have NO idea. I’m just not brave enough… J
