I didn't see another thread about Spain, so...
I'll be in a number of cities in Catalunya and Spain over the next few weeks (Barcelona, Valencia, Granada, Sevilla, Cordoba, Madrid). I'll probably spend more time exploring sherry, vermouth, and other wine than beer while I'm there, but I'm interested in any recommendations folks have for beer too--probably more interested in exploring local beers than places to buy Cantillon or something like that (although if something like St. Lam would be available somewhere, interested in that too). Looking for recommendations for bars that usually have a wide variety of local stuff on draft (especially in smaller portion sizes for more easy sampling), and also for breweries that bottle to look out for--I'm not planning to bring a ton of beer back from this trip, but it would be fun to grab a bottle from a local brewery in each city to share with some friends when I get back or something (don't need to be world class beers, just interesting and local).
For that matter, it's a little off topic but I'd also appreciate recommendations for sherry and vermouth and Rioja and things like that, bottles I could get and bring back that aren't available in the U.S.
