Cereria Subirà Barcelona

Light Up Memories with Candles

Cesar from Barcelona

"A whisper from the past, with a history stretching back over 250 years – they've been lighting up Barcelona since before the invention of the light bulb!"

If you're like me and have a soft spot for candles, especially those you pick up as souvenirs from your travels, then Cerería Subirà is a must-visit spot in Barcelona. Tucked away near the iconic cathedral, it's a gem you'll likely stumble upon during your meanders through the city's charming streets.

Cerería Subirà isn't just another candle shop. It's a whisper from the past, with a history stretching back over 250 years. Imagine that – they've been lighting up Barcelona since before the invention of the light bulb! But don't think it's all about dusty old traditions, this place is a treasure trove of both classic and contemporary candle designs, ensuring there's something for every taste.

The location couldn't be more perfect. Nestled amidst Barcelona's bustling heart, it's a serene escape where the only difficulty you'll face is deciding which candle to take home. Whether it's a traditional taper to add a touch of elegance to your dinner table or a quirky, scented piece that encapsulates the essence of Barcelona, they have it all.

But Cerería Subirà isn't just about the candles, it's a haven for candle enthusiasts. From elegant candelabras to unique holders, it's rare for me to pass by without adding something new to my collection.

In a city that's often overrun by tourist traps, Cerería Subirà stands out as a genuinely authentic spot. So next time you wander near the cathedral, let your nose guide you to this enchanting store.

The first time I had a coffee at "Ca La Roseta", I told the owner 'this is the best coffee I've had in Barcelona'; he calmly replied: 'of course it is!'

Collonut

Tapas, vermut, vermut & vermut

"Collonut" in Barcelona is a typical Catalunyan vermut and tapas bar, but they have managed to give it a nice young touch - and it's not a tourist trap!

Parallelo

Artisanal street gelato!

"Parallelo" gelato is my absolute favourite in Barcelona. Totally worth the 2.5-km walk there. My favorite is the cream-peanut-dulce de leche ice cream!
