Carrer Joaquin Costa: Barcelona Street Profile<\/h1>\n

El Raval is famous for being kind of an infamous\u00a0neighborhood and we feel like that is total bullsh*t! This is an amazing, eccentric and eclectic neighborhood with many awesome things to do and today we take a look at one of its emblematic streets, Carrer Joaquin Costa.<\/p>\n

\\\"Carrer<\/p>\n

History<\/h1>\n

The street name came from the Catal\u00e1n politician, lawyer, historian and economist who was known to be the major representative of the \\”Regenerationism\\”, which was an intellectual movement that searched for the causes of Spain\\’s (as a State) decadence. The street is located in the\u00a0Raval neighborhood, part of the old town.\u00a0It starts from the metro station \\”Universitat\\” and goes down\u00a0until reaching the center of Raval at equal distance from\u00a0\\”San Antoni\\” and \\”Liceu\\” metro stations.<\/p>\n

As many other streets of this neighborhood, Joaquin Costa is\u00a0a narrow, charming street full of shops, bars or\u00a0restaurants, but also public buildings such as the Goya Theatre and the Centre Aragon\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Shops on Joaquin Costa<\/h2>\n

– Fusta\\’m<\/p>\n

\\\"Carrer<\/p>\n

Looking for a unique workshop? Then you\\’ll love Fusta\\’m<\/strong>! It all started almost 4 years ago with an idea of a couple,\u00a0which was to restore old pieces of furniture from the 50\\’s, 60\\’s or\u00a0even 70\\’s styles. You\\’ll find only authentic furniture,\u00a0lighting and different decorative trinkets. Not only is it\u00a0possible to buy these awesome pieces but you can also rent\u00a0them for special occasions, events.<\/p>\n

P.S : Entering the shop, if you\\’re curious enough, you\\’ll\u00a0see behind the seller an old tapissery which is of\u00a0origin.

– A la Premsa d\\’Aquell Dia<\/strong>: The one-of-a-kind shop in Barcelona<\/p>\n

\\\"Carrer<\/p>\n

The story begins 20 years ago when, after a few trips around Europe (more precisely to Belgium, France and England) seeing a few shops selling unique old newspapers and magazines, a couple and their daughter decided to create\u00a0their own shop back in Barcelona.\u00a0They first settled in Carrer del Tigre in the Raval\u00a0Neighborhood before moving to the next and current street\u00a0Joaquin Costa 4 years ago because the shop was getting too\u00a0small to stock all the newspapers and magazines they wanted.\u00a0Even if one can think they also sell French magazines\u00a0(because of the few \\”Paris Match\\” in the window display),\u00a0they actually only sell Spanish newspapers. But if you\\’re\u00a0interested in old newspapers in other languages they might\u00a0help you find it by contacting some colleagues around\u00a0Europe. The best example the couple told me was this time\u00a0where a client wanted an english newspaper talking about the \u00a0titanic as it was not famous enough to talk about it in the\u00a0Spanish newspapers. They finally found one that they bought\u00a0for 12500 Pesetas (75\u20ac)!<\/p>\n

\\\"Carrer<\/p>\n

According to the couple, the two kinds of articles most\u00a0wanted are the newspapers first step on the moon and the World Wars.<\/p>\n

When going out of the shop, you can stop by the\u00a0\\”Lletraferit<\/strong>\\” Library Caf\u00e9 just accross the street and grab\u00a0a caf\u00e9 con leche while reading a book! This place was\u00a0actually funded by Diego Gary, son of famous French writer\u00a0Romain Gary and American Actress of the 60\\’s Jean Seberg.<\/p>\n

Fore more info check out A la Premsa D\\’aquell Dia Website<\/p>\n

– Bubub<\/p>\n

Bubub<\/strong> also caught our attention because of its old sign\u00a0representing a cartoon dog, bringing back its past of Toy\u00a0shop. Nowadays it is a small Greengrocer with great fresh\u00a0products for a decent price! Vegetarians are gonna love it.<\/p>\n

\\\"Carrer<\/p>\n

Bars<\/h2>\n

Betty Fords<\/strong> Bar is a pretty famous bar\u00a0located in this street, known for hosting hipsters but also\u00a0for their good cocktails and burgers! Excellent place to\u00a0start your parties!<\/p>\n

\\\"Carrer<\/p>\n

If you\\’re interested in a completely different kind of bar,\u00a0we recommend you to go to Granja de Gava<\/strong>, a unique centenary\u00a0bar which, as its name suggests, was a farm originally\u00a0(Granja means Farm). It also saw the birth of a famous Catal\u00e1n writer Terenci Moix in 1942. When you enter the bar, you can hear a soft jazz music and\u00a0see an astonishing statue in papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 of a giant fat\u00a0lady decorated by a huge slice of pizza on her head. There\u00a0are also art exhibitions, for example there is currently oil\u00a0paintings of the local Marta Cino which are actually for\u00a0sale.<\/p>\n

\\\"Carrer<\/p>\n

Olimpic bar<\/strong> will be for people who don\\’t want to spend much money or beat about the bush: 1\u20ac20 a beer, 3\u20ac50 a Mojito, Caipirinha or Spritz, that\\’s right. And if you don\\’t believe me, check this out:<\/p>\n

\\\"Carrer<\/p>\n

No wonder it is always packed…<\/p>\n

Finally for the story, this awesome street once hosted one of the most famous Serial killer of the city, Enriqueta Marti who was called \\”La Vampira del carrer de Ponent\\” (Ponent street being the former name of Joaquin Costa street). So that you understand why she earned this name, she used to kidnapp dozens of children, make them prostitute and\/or kill them. And with the rests (skin, blood, fat, hair, bones…), she\\’d make potions, balsams, etc. What a lovely person she was! :)<\/p>\n

\\\"Carrer<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
