Easily as worthy as its many heritage counterpart structures in this bountiful city of wondrous architecture, it still seems like a hidden gem that gets overlooked amidst multiple world heritage sites. It is not just a beautiful building, it is one of the most photo-worthy UNESCO sites in town. Gorgeously preserved seats, wood, sculptures, stained glass, historic cafe, and don't miss those yummy balcony columns outside! There is much to love here, but if you are short on time and can only snap photos and move along, you can see it all in 20 minutes. Squeeze it in. It's one of the most beautiful buildings you've never heard of.

This place is absolutely stunning -- the architecture, the colors, the detail... just wow…read more Definitely one of the most beautiful buildings I saw in Barcelona. I was a little disappointed that during the night performance, the patio area with the famous mosaic columns was completely closed off. It's one of the highlights of the building, and I was really hoping to see it lit up at night. Apparently, it's only open during day tours, which is kind of a bummer if you're only going for a show. Also, heads up -- the main photo you see everywhere is taken from the upstairs balcony seats, so if that's the view you want, book accordingly.

I had bought a jacket just hours before getting in the club. I had checked it in the "VIP" coat check. I didn't realize until the morning that it had been shredded. When I contacted them, I did not get any helpful response from them about what had happened just hours before. Again, going as an attendee is fine but do not get VIP. If they treat VIP coatcheck like this, I'm nervous how they treat the coatcheck for the public! In regards to the club itself, we could not find the other rooms. We tried asking the staff in the VIP room, but they weren't that helpful so we just danced in the main floor.

Film nights, readings, music recitals, it has the feel somewhat of a socialist workers club, and that s no pretense either - it was set up in 1975 as a space for bohemian revelries, where artists could meet, drink the home-brewed Tisana (a Cava-based concoction) and play one of the guitars hanging on the walls. All of which can still be done today: Its not many bars where patrons are encouraged to strike up impromptu sessions and bang away at an out of tune piano. The surroundings are suitably off beat, but whereas other bars strive to be quirky El Nostre Racó has the rarest quality of all, authenticity. http://www.bestofbcn.com/bar/el-nostre-rac

The night I went, though, there was no such Flamenco, just a dark little Cuban bar, with Caribbean music and a whole bar filled with sugar and mint-filled glasses ready for a mojito order. It wasn't quite what I was looking for, but we had a good time. My one only real problem has to do with the bathroom, where there was neither soap nor paper towels...yikes! In any event, if you're in Gràcia and looking for a mojito-infused, Caribbean evening, this might very well be the spot to go.
