Cafè del Centre

By @DavidLeon

The dean of the Eixample, dating back to 1873. It opened when all this was still mud and promise. Its iron columns witnessed the birth of a neighborhood. A recently restored café that now operates as a restaurant run by people who care about the past.

Address: Carrer de Girona, 69, L'Eixample, 08009 Barcelona, Spain
