Mediterranean groceries Barcelona

La Colmena has been a gourmet's haunt since 1849! This pastry shop, one of the oldest in Barcelona, deliciously perfumes the Plaza de l'Angel with its caramels, made with essential oils and honey. The pastry chefs of La Colmena will also delight you with their typical Catalan holiday treats, such as panellets with almond powder and pine nuts, prepared for All Saints' Day, or cakes such as Midsummer's Day coca and Christmas tortell . You will love the turrón with crème brûlée!

We have come a long way since the Planelles and Donat families, small turrón manufacturers, joined forces at the beginning of the 20th century Today, there are four stores in Barcelona: three in Portal de l'Angel and one in Cucurulla Street. Did you know that there are so many varieties of this Spanish nougat, consumed without moderation at Christmas? In addition to the Xixona and Alicante turróns, there are cream turróns, marzipan turróns, chocolate turróns, etc. In the summer, you can try delicious ice cream while sipping a horchata, a drink made from tiger nuts.
