Art, Design & a Good Vermut
A few places worth a visit in Barcelona.
MEAM
Carrer de la Barra de Ferro 5 · El Born ↗The building alone — a restored 18th-century palace — is worth the visit. Painting, photography, sculpture. Quiet, beautiful, and never too crowded.
Galeria Senda
Trafalgar 32 ↗Strong programme, small bookshop inside. Find Monuments in Love — Cartas de Amor by Antoni Miralda. Pick it up and read the story. You will not put it back.
Canal Gallery
Carrer del Palau 4 · Gòtic ↗Urban and contemporary art. Founded by Barcelona artist Balu, it mixes street art legends with emerging names.
Fustam
Carrer de Joaquín Costa 62 · El Raval ↗Cute home décor, a warm mix of Italian and Spanish products.
Boomerang
Ramón y Cajal 2 · Gràcia ↗For those obsessed with vintage and mid-century furniture. You know who you are.
Noak Room
Carrer de Roc Boronat 69 · Poblenou ↗Similar story, bigger space. Scandinavian vintage, run by a Norwegian couple.
Bar Calders
Carrer del Parlament 25 · Sant Antoni ↗The vermut arrived with a paper coaster that looked like a tarot card. A conversation followed about whether Madrid or Barcelona does it better. He had no doubts. Of course Barcelona. Madrid would disagree.
