Like El Timbal is our usual dinner if we don't want to eat anywhere else or make our own food, Bo de B can be considered the same for our lunch plans. If we do not want to make our own lunch, Bo de B is our fallback plan every time. Bo de B is a small sandwich shop in the El Barri Gotic area. It is off the Barceloneta metro stop (yellow line, L4) and is right near the Marina where the statue of Christopher Columbus is. Walking up to Bo de B, you would not think it is anything special; it is a small walk up window where you order unless you are sitting there to eat your sandwich. The inside only seats about 10 to 15 people comfortably. Once you walk up to the window is when you realize that you are going to eat a great sandwich. You see an assortment of fresh chicken, beef, rice, sauces, cheeses, and vegetables that can all go on your sandwich--nothing is touched until you tell the person what you want on your sandwich. Once you say what you want on your sandwich you see it get freshly made right in front of you--I get chicken, cheese, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and all of the sauces on mine. The sandwich is then served to you on a fresh baguette. The best part about this sandwich is although it is made with high quality food, it only costs four euros!
After my friends and I all get our sandwiches we will either eat them on the steps of the post office right next to Bo de B or on the marina where we can look at all of the boats. These sandwiches get a little messy and some of it falls to the ground, but not to worry because there are plenty of pigeons waiting around to eat what you drop! I strongly suggest eating a sandwich at Bo de B if you never have before, you definitely won't regret it.
