First though, it is time to get all the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Our first stop is the almost a-hundred-year-old <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cuadrasxarcuteria.com\"><strong>Xarcuteria Cuadras<\/strong><\/a> (a typical kind of grocery store). Once there, the group of students led by the professor <strong>E.J. Yoder<\/strong> and <strong>Mark Hindle<\/strong>, businessman in the US hotel Industry, starts to find out more about one of the most characteristic treasures of our cuisine: the <strong>coca<\/strong>.Xavi tells them about the number of natural local products used to garnish it: almonds, hazelnuts, \u2018escalivada\u2019, \u2026 and one of the most beloved \u2018teams\u2019 which, as a matter of fact, the students will be taking with them to the <strong>Al Natural<\/strong> restaurant: la coca de ceba (onions coca). The strong yet delicious smell of such gastronomical jewel is staring to make our mouths water. \u201cSix euros per piece?\u201d, says one of the girls. The exclamation though, is actually referring to the cheapness of the delicious piece of coca.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto5-1024x680.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto5-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Estudiants amb coca \/ \u00a9Pere Toda\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" data-id=\"808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto5-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto5-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto5.jpg 1575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Talking a bit more to <strong>Mark Hindle<\/strong>, I am told this is part of an optional academic activity that will actually provide students with credits for their future record. This is, in fact, the second time their university has enrolled in such an exciting Catalan experience thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barcelonasae.com\"><strong>Barcelona SAE (Study Abroad Experience)<\/strong><\/a> ), and they are absolute delighted with it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, after a short explanation by Xavi about the secrets of <a href=\"http:\/\/ca.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Romesco\"><strong>romesco<\/strong><\/a>, yet another of this activity\u2019s main actors, we head to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.labotigadelcafe.com\"><strong>Botiga del Caf\u00e8<\/strong><\/a> in Rambla Nova, in order to buy some roasted hazelnuts we\u2019ll need for our menu. Even <strong>E.J.

On our way there, <strong>Matt Almanza<\/strong>, the only guy with us today, explains that despite being from California, he is been already 3 years studying in Denver, and that this is his very first time out of the States. \u201cA few days ago we were on a <a href=\"http:\/\/ca.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cal\u00e7otada\"><strong>cal\u00e7otada<\/strong><\/a>. It is just spectacular; it was delicious and we got very messy\u201d, says while smiling.<\/p>\n<p>We enter the Market and their eyes are lighted up immediately. Fruit and vegetables, fish and meat have just shocked them. The sheer variety and quality of these products is hard to find in their country, where they say it is only Mexican people running butcher\u2019s shops. We buy mussels, which will be steamed, arbequin olives, for the aperitif, and a few inches of llonganissa which, once cooked, will be used to garnish the onion coca we bought earlier on. The menu is starting to come alive; and what a way to do it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto10-1024x680.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto10-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Grup al Mercat \/ \u00a9Pere Toda\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" data-id=\"812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto10-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto10-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto10.jpg 1575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto19-1024x680.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto19-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Professors al Mercat \/ \u00a9Pere Toda\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" data-id=\"826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto19-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto19-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/foto19.jpg 1575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We just need to by the pa de pag\u00e8s (special old-style bread) \u2013with its seal of quality- at <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/102809244104347478141\/about?gl=es&amp;hl=es\"><strong>Forn Jordi Andreu<\/strong><\/a>, just opposite the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tarragona.cat\/patrimoni\/museu-historia\/en\/monuments\/colonial-forum\"><strong>Colonial Forum<\/strong><\/a>, which we actually enter.
