Bar Marsella

El Raval · taverns · $

I've been coming here since the 1990s. The bottles haven't moved. Neither has the dust. That's the point — this is a place where time is visibly accumulated.

Opened in 1820. Possibly Barcelona's oldest continuously operating bar. Absinthe served from bottles that have been on the shelf for decades.
