Where to eat

LOW-BUDGET

Bar Oscar

@travelnmyworld

Traditional Spanish plates at a McDonalds price. I highly recommend "ous estrellats amb xoriço"; they are fried eggs with fried potatoes and a type of Spanish sausage. The cakes, special cheese cake, are delicious.

Toni's

@travelnmyworld

Located in the Main Square of Manresa, Toni's is a family bar where locals normally order "patates braves" (fried potatoes with a typical sauce) and a beer.

MEDIUM-BUDGET

Restaurant el Traster

@travelnmyworld

All dishes are amazing; what sucks about this place is its uncommon decoration. All the objects were taken out of an old garage, so non matches with... any other object.

Pizzeria - Ristorante La Tagliatella | Manresa Centre

@travelnmyworld

In la Tagliatella they serve traditional Italian food, but we also love pasta, pizza, and those things, so go and enjoy yourself as a local would do.

Special events

Medieval thematical fair

La Fira de l'Aixada is the most important and appreciated festivity for all the citizens of this town. It is based on an historical episode that evolved introducing some supernatural events and becoming a legend.

In this fair the medieval ages become alive, with the spectacles, archery training, sword combats, and the atmosphere that actors and actresses give to the city.
