If I had to choose one singular and authentic bar in Barcelona, I'll say "Mendizábal". This is not a fancy bar, and that's what I love of Mendizábal. But it doesn't mean it isn't a cute one with a beautiful decoration and good prices. They have a two very differentiated spaces: one privileged terrace in the city center, and the interior salon. Them both are awesome, and it's perfect because you can decide which one fits better with the situation. They do tapas, sandwich, juices, burgers and veggi burgers. In my opinion, they have the best vegetarian sandwich offer in town. But the most important, you can leave the bar without eating their "patatas bravas"

Have a walk around this area and admire the architecture and narrow streets.

City-beach with very different atmospheres, depending on the season. In the summer its crowded and full of people sun-bathing, partying, rollerblading, swimming etc. But in the winter it can be a wonderful quiet place.

Nice store and selection of books. Sorted by COLOR ;)

Old refurbished car workshop that is now divided into three parts: exhibition space, bookshop specialized in photobooks and a cafe. It is the only place in the city where you can have a drink, listen to a Velvet Underground vinyl, and transport it anywhere through a photobook or an exhibition.
