BAR RAVAL
Read moreThis tapas bar is a little wooden gem on College Street. Its bar seems to have been carved out of the side of a huge tree, just like its rounded ceiling, where round bottles are enthroned. If he hadn't been dead for almost a century, one would think that Antoni Gaudi had been in charge of the design of the place. So there's no doubt about the atmosphere: we're in Barcelona!

SIDEDOOR
