This place is right beside where i live. It's a really nice mixed space with art gallery and café, perfect for a drink with friends and also to enjoy their very well selected exhibitions.
This nearly 200-year-old bar— reputedly the oldest in Barcelona, is an absynthe bar. Was one of the locations from Vicky Christina Barcelona's film.
The Marsella is one of those places that Hemingway supposedly loved to frequent (Hemingway being to bars in Spain what George Washington is to inns in New England).
Sunny days I like to go to the Palau Robert Garden. Is an small garden placed in the middle of the city. The palace works today as an exhibition space, so after reading the newspaper under the sunshine, you can visit an exhibition. I love to go there to feel myself surrounded of abundant vegetation and the songs of the birds. It makes me be in a good mood.
