I always love to observe people in the city at the open space cafe like Federal. Their breakfast and coffee are amazing!

A multidisciplinary artistic space that aims to disseminate and showcase the creative work and contemporary artistic expressions of the city. In MISCELANEA, art, design and audiovisual creation converge with all kinds of independent cultural events, with the aim of always offering innovative creative proposals combined with new forms of expression.

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!

Every weekend there are concerts of known and emerging groups and the room is usually filled by the unconditional Hi Jauh. If you wish to attend, you must become a member and pay the fee.

I only recommend walking around the Barceloneta beach at sunset, there are fewer people and in the fall and spring seasons is very nice to sit on a terrace watching the sea and entertaining yourself with the activities of the area.
