Mini bio
How it started.
Carla founded EatInBCN in 2015, building a place to share food and travel discoveries alongside her professional work. She comes from a strategy consulting background and trained in economics and law.
Finding an audience.
An early public milestone came in 2016, when Diagonal Mar included EatInBCN in its Barcelona photography exhibition. In a 2017 interview, Carla had already covered more than 300 establishments in the city.
From local tables to travel routes.
Barcelona remains central to her work, but EatInBCN also publishes itineraries and Google Maps guides for trips abroad. Her catalog includes Indonesia, Mexico and Australia, alongside Costa Brava and other Spanish destinations.
Sharing her city.
Lonely Planet lists Carla as its Barcelona correspondent. In 2025 she also curated a Barcelona route for Natura Bissé and took part in TheFork’s campaign around discovering restaurants through trusted recommendations.
