David Beckham is visiting our country and, if there is something that the ex-footballer loves about our land, that is the gastronomy. The Briton always praises Spanish recipes whenever he can and now he has taken the opportunity to taste one of the most exclusive local delicacies: percebes. To enjoy this dish in the best hands, he went to the iconic seafood restaurant Botafumeiro in Barcelona.
Beckham took the opportunity to eat a good portion of barnacles, “one of my favorite things to eat in season in Spain,” as he confessed in stories. In addition, he was also with the restaurant’s head waiter, Juan Jesús Pérez Alonso. The charismatic head waiter also gave him a taste of other delicacies such as elvers, as can be seen in the video that Juan Jesús himself shared on his networks. In the funny video, you can also see the table full of delicacies from the restaurant, such as oysters.
Botafumeiro se ha convertido en un hotspot para amantes del marisco y, si echamos un vistazo a sus redes sociales, encontraremos numerosas celebrities que han acudido a lo largo de estos años: desde Emma Watson a Morgan Freeman, Beyonce, Lewandowski o Nick Carter, entre otros.
