Beautiful Natural park near Cadaques

Casa Protea is a plant collectors studio based in Barcelona. A gathering place for plant lovers run by Jesús and Pancho.

This is the up & coming market of Barcelona. Happens every first weekend of each month. There are free concerts, food trucks and little designer shops.

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!

The couch area near the fireplace is probably the best one in the restaurant. Amazing for long talks and good breakfast.
