You have to pass by a crappy shop, take the stairs up to the garden!

Living space where a concept store, cafe, restaurant and flower shop. Perfect for a morning of work or an informal meeting, a nice brunch with live music ... In his concept store you can find the latest design trends selected by Jaime Beristain.

I first came to this store, bike and barber shop to photograph its owner, a well known rapper from Barcelona. It's a nice place to find some good hip-hop classic records, buy a bike and also have your beard or your hair shaved.

All Espai Joliu-lovers rejoice! Very recently a second location called Orval has opened, and it’s only 10 minutes away from its big sister. Just above Ciutadella park, just like its predecessor does. It has plenty of natural light that comes in through the large windows. Another added benefit with the new location is that it consists of two floors instead of just one as in Espai Joliu. Both cafes have their unique charm: Espai Joliu has that rugged, Berlin-inspired atmosphere, and Orval an added modern touch. The concept of plants and coffee remains consistent here, with a similar drink menu (with many options, and great specialty coffee) and beautiful plants for sale. You will also find an array of magazines and guidebooks. The staff deserves an added mention, such a friendly bunch!

An small and cute perfumery store placed in the Raval that I discovered some weeks ago. The space design is a mix of traditional materials and a contemporary sense of the space and is full of numerous things that smell crazy. I bought one cake of soap from a portugese label called Claus Porto. Now my bathroom smells like a country of savage water lilies and I'm looking forward to wash my hands all the time.
