Casa Gispert
Nuts about nuts, and much much more
Since 1851 and still in the same family, this is a fascinating, charmingly old fashioned shop where they roast nuts and coffees on a wood burning oven (said to be the last still functioning in Europe) and sell the finest Catalan truffles, saffron, olive oils, dried fruits and herbs: the aromas alone are worth stopping for. But prices are extremely reasonable as well, and the staff speak excellent English.
