Bar Lobo

Just a few steps off Barcelona’s famous and overcrowded La Rambla Avenue, sit the intriguing, mazelike, up-and-coming Raval district. Among these narrow streets, interspersed with galleries, trendy shops and the occasional seedy grocer, you’ll find Bar Lobo. The tiny gem boasts ceiling-high windows overlooking a plaza just big enough for two trees, some outdoor tables and a splash of sunshine. On sunny mornings, regulars sit outdoors and order a typical snack of espresso with a bite-sized “bocadillo” sandwich. On colder evenings, Bar Lobo’s indoor wooden tables are the perfect place to gather over draft beers, fried chili peppers and octopus carpaccio.
