    <\/span>Fargas<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

    One of the city\u2019s oldest chocolate shops, Fargas<\/a> has been operating since 1827 on the same corner of Barcelona\u2019s Gothic Quarter<\/a>, even using the same stone grinder to mill their chocolate. As you can imagine, the scent inside the shop is intoxicating.<\/p>\n

    Decisions won\u2019t be easy here, but let us recommend the cat\u00e0nies. <\/i>These are roasted Marcona almonds coated in caramel and white chocolate and then dusted with cocoa powder. These treats come from nearby Vilafranca del Pened\u00e8s\u2014try eating just one.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Cacao Sampaka<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Cacao Sampaka<\/a> is another grand chocolate institution in Barcelona. It was opened in part by none other than pastry chef Albert Adria<\/a>, half of the famous brotherly duo that makes up a big part of Barcelona\u2019s exciting gastronomic scene.<\/p>\n

    Cacao Sampaka is a beautiful shop as well as a cafe. Go for sampling menus of bonbons or ice cream<\/a>. Why not grab some unique gifts or souvenirs<\/a> like chocolate bars infused with anchovies or vinegar while you\u2019re there?<\/p>\n

    Four generations of family recipes and over 200 specialties of bonbons means that Bombons Blasi<\/a> makes some seriously good chocolate. Go for their famous bomb\u00f3 vencia, <\/i>a dark chocolate filled with mascarpone and a red fruit marmalade\u2014it\u2019s to die for.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Granja M. Viader<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

    There is so much to love about Granja M. Viader (Carrer del Xucl\u00e0, 4-6)<\/i>. Tucked away on a small street right off La Rambla, it\u2019s no wonder why there is always a line outside before they even open.<\/p>\n

    Think Catalan-style old-fashioned diner, serving delicious suizos<\/i> and an assortment of pastries for dipping. The family behind the business also invented Cacaolat<\/a>, the Spanish chocolate milk.<\/p>\n
