This  is a fruity cousin of the French dessert, cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e. The departure here is the addition of orange zest. Since it is a signature dish in the region, you can find it at almost every eatery. The best, however, are available at Cerveseria Ciutat Comtal and Escrib\u00e0.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips to visit Barcelona in January<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure you book online tickets for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sagrada-familia-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sagrada Familia<\/a>.
