LA CIUTAT DELS CAFÈS
The first coffee house in Barcelona was opened possibly in 1710 in the Born neighborhood, according to the historian and author of the book "The city of the Born", Albert Garcia Espuche, who tells us that it was a place located in the corner of the Esparteria and Vidriería streets. In their round tables, the locals met to play dice and cards while taste coffee from America. Coffee came to Barcelona through the influence of cities such as Paris and Vienna, and the locals gradually became fond of coffee. So much so, that at the moment of maximum splendor of coffee, in the modernist period (late nineteenth century), due to the quantity of coffees and the quality of these, Barcelona came to be known as "the City of coffee houses".
