Cereria Subirà Barcelona
Light Up Memories with Candles
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.
