La Confiteria
El Raval / Paral.lel
1912 confectioner's shop, now a vermut and cocktail landmark
A restored former drugstore turned warm vintage cocktail bar, Balius pairs well-made drinks and house vermut with sharing plates, and hosts live jazz some nights. It is a genuine neighbourhood living room rather than a tourist destination. The marble bar and old façade carry real charm.
