Boadas Cocktails

By @DavidLeon

A cocktail bar remembered because Hemingway used to frequent it, but the ghost that truly matters here is Miquel Boadas, who in 1933 brought the Caribbean spirit and the savoir-faire of La Floridita (Cuba) to a little alley off Tallers. Here, the shaker isn’t shaken, it’s officiated.

Address: Carrer dels Tallers, 1, Ciutat Vella, 08001 Barcelona, Spain
