A preserved candy-shop interior in El Raval — original fixtures, woodwork, and tiles, a neighbourhood bar that happens to be stunning. The cocktails are solid (the gin-tonics well-made), but the Belle Époque setting is the star, so order classic drinks and take in the space. Come early evening to appreciate the details in good light, before the Raval nightlife gets rowdy; it's great for photos. It is worth visiting for the room alone — a genuine old confiteria turned bar, where the preserved interior is more beautiful than the cocktails are ambitious. For a drink inside a piece of preserved Barcelona, in the gritty, ever-shifting Raval, the space makes the visit.
