On the Grid : El Tío Che
"El Tío Che is the sweetest corner in the hood, a reference not only in Barcelona, but nationwide for its traditional homemade sweets and “horchata”. Horchata is a milky beverage made from tigernuts, water and sugar, popularly served in Spain during the summer as refreshment with “fartons” (elongated sweet sponges) made to be dipped in it. What makes this place really special is that it’s an absolute classic that has been serving up sweet joy for over 100 years, which is palpable from the vintage décor that sets it aside from everything else on the street." - Little Buddha
