Wonderful little café in Poble Nou for light lunches and afternoon tea/coffee. The interior is fantastic and you can buy arty magazines and cute plants here.

Searching for a place to slow down and breathe in the bustling centre of Barcelona may be challenging, but Bar Cugat provides a solution: a timeless bar situated in Eixample, with an elegant yet low-key atmosphere. While originally stopping in for a quick coffee, we found ourselves returning an hour later for a wonderful dinner. The clean yet eclectic interior (with an Art Nouveau poster to boot) is a great place to dine, any day of the week. Recommendations: classic tapas + vermut.

News and Coffee is bringing back to life a piece of our cities which little by little has been disappearing: The Newsstand. Newspapers, a selection of independent magazines and books & a great cup of specialty coffee to go. FAV PLACE.

The "1929. The Barcelona Pavilion" is one of the places where I always take my friends when they come to visit me to Barcelona. It was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as the German National Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. The day I made the photo was raining heavily, even then I found it great.

Try pintxos!
