"The egg soufflé with vegetables at Gresca, one of a number of Barcelona restaurants that practice bistronomia, offering high-quality cuisine at an affordable price. Bistronomia is a combination of bistro (a nod to the traditional dishes that form the starting point for these chefs) and gastronomia (a reference to the haute cuisine techniques used to update them)." - Creative Plates at a Good Price in Barcelona, NY Times.com

Spain seems like such a great place to eat & enjoy food. Why? A few reasons:

• Tapas: plates of hot & cold savory tidbits that accompany you as you make your bar-run
  
• Olive oil: Spain is one of the best producers of 'liquid gold'
• Ferran Adria & el Bulli: the 3 Michelin star chef & his No.1 ranked restaurant - in the world
  
• Jamon & Manchego: Spain's delicious ham & sheep's milk cheese - they transform a cheese & ham sandwich to a completely different level
  
• San Sebastian: a city which has the highest concentration of Michelin stars per capita than any other city, including Paris
  
• and now this: Bistronomia!

So.. although there's nothing directly related to chocolate here, Item #9 on my Wish List™  is:  go on a culinary tour through Spain! =)
