A table full of tapas makes it just a bit more flavorful with a good glass of wine. While mornings are all about sun, sea, and beach, evenings can be spent exploring hotspots with good wines. Surprising or not, Catalonia is finally gaining more and more appreciation for its wines.
For that reason, here are three enjoyable wine bars in L’Escala for sipping a nice glass of wine accompanied by matching snacks

1. Bodega Els Barrils
Els Barrils is a delightful wine bar in L’Escala, perfect for the summer months. The wine barrels are literally set up for you as they have transformed them into outdoor tables. This makes it an excellent place to start or end your evening, depending on how you see it! This hotspot is located in a charming alley close to the sea in the center of L’Escala. It is a very fresh and sophisticated wine bar with a large selection of wines and quality tapas. Expect a menu filled with cheeses, cured meats, and other typical Spanish dishes that will leave you eagerly anticipating your order.
2. Vinilo
Vinilo is a small restaurant/wine bar in L’Escala that may not catch your eye at first, but once you’ve visited, you’ll definitely be back. This spot is run by a super sweet couple – the wife is Dutch, and her husband is Argentinean! They have a rich selection of wines on the menu. Additionally, they have an organic garden where they grow their own produce. Salads from the garden, empanadas (caprese, chicken, meat, and shrimp), delicious rice, fish, and meat – let yourself be surprised by their homemade empanadas, dangerously delicious! Sitting on the terrace with a view of the sea is very pleasant.
3. UAIN
The name of this hotspot partially gives it away: Uain, pronounced as oeh-wain but meant to sound like wine. Get it? This is a peculiar place that doesn’t immediately catch your eye. This wine bar in L’Escala is a few meters away from the center and has a limited number of seats. A small, tastefully decorated spot. Here, you dine under the guidance of one of the best sommeliers in the country, Rafel Sabadí. This is the ideal place for all wine enthusiasts who enjoy being surprised by the owner’s knowledge. Rafa Sabadi gives you the opportunity to pair the dishes with a wide variety of wines
