Bar Marsella

El Raval · food · $

I bring people here for one drink, always. Not for history tourism but because the bar itself — the dust, the mirrors, the unassuming door on Carrer de Sant Pau — is the rawest

Barcelona's oldest bar, opened 1820. The absinthe bottles on the shelves are original stock. Ernest Hemingway drank here. That's the least interesting thing about it.
