Barcelona's oldest bar, open since 1820, with bottles of absinthe so old they're coated in dust and the original mirrors still on the walls. Order the house absinthe — it arrives with sugar, a fork, and water, the old-fashioned way. The atmosphere is genuinely unrepeatable, but it keeps irregular hours and can close without warning, so check before making a special trip.
