In Barcelona you will quickly learn that everything here happens later than you might be used to: eating lunch, dinner, going out, and partying. It's as if the whole day were shifted back 3 hours. If you're out on the town (most locals don't even leave their flat until around midnight) and having a good time, it's completely normal to party until 5, 6, 7 in the morning the next day. On your morning walk-of-shame back to your flat wouldn't it be nice to grab some warm sweet chocolate napolitana and eat it on the way to your bed? There are plenty of bakeries around the centre and you can be sure to find some behind every second corner, but one you will love is the
Mauri Barcelona just on Rambla de Catalunya, 102 or
Baluard at carrer Baluard 38. Be prepared to find a line out the door on the weekends, because their buns, muffins, cupcakes and empanadas are said to be just fabulous.
