An small and cute perfumery store placed in the Raval that I discovered some weeks ago. The space design is a mix of traditional materials and a contemporary sense of the space and is full of numerous things that smell crazy. I bought one cake of soap from a portugese label called Claus Porto. Now my bathroom smells like a country of savage water lilies and I'm looking forward to wash my hands all the time.
After waking up on a lazy saturday I love going to La Boqueria market (Mercat de Sant Josep) to buy some vegetables, fruits, fish to set up a nice lunch at home.
Simple and charming, Bacaro is an authentic Venetian tavern located near the rear of the Mercat de la Boqueria, where its owners buy daily the freshest products to create an excellent menu featuring always homemade pasta and fish dishes. Definitely a great alternative to enjoy non-commercial Italian cuisine.
Can Framis was just another Poblenou factory at the end of the 18th century. In 2009 it was converted into a museum of contemporary painting, thanks to the Fundació Vila Casas
The 3.000 square meters space used to be a parking lot and was transformed into an exquisit palace of food. The venue is divided into four restaurants, each specialised in something else. Meat, fish, tapas & rice, delicatessen. And in the center, four counters specialised in cava, wine, beer and cocktails. There’s even an oyster & champagne bar, for the chic & fancy.
