Bar Marsella

Attention: open in a new window.

Going out in Barcelona

accommodation barcelona Bar Marsella is an authentic Spansih experience, tucked away in Raval. It is thought to be on of the first bars in Barcelona, frequented by the likes of Hemingway, Dali, Picasso and ofcourse Gaudi. It is one of those bars in danger of extinction, overcome by the start up of posh, over priced, modern bars which cater to the tourist industry. In fact the tourists would have a much better time in a place like Marsella and would much more easliy immerse themselves in the Spanish culture. If the walls of the bar could talk they would recount the most amazing history of time spent drinking absinthe. With customers such as the artists mentioned above to vagabonds to students, there is no prejudice, just a room full of a wonderful mix of people from all walks of like, bonding over a ridiculously strong drink!

Palau de Música Catalana

Places to visit in Barcelona

The hall comprises some of the most amazing art and design but perhaps the most famous and indeed spectacular part is the sky light. It was built between 1905 and 1908, commissioned by a chior but the funding came from the citizens, with larger donations coming from the more aristocratic inhabitants. It is now a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the most visited sites in Barcelona. It is situated in La Ribera only about 5 minutes walk from the centre of the city, on a narrow street of the busy road Laeitana.
