Spain
The Born area is a lovely area of Barcelona, with loads to do, great boutique shops, cafes and general vibe that is hard to beat. Ate lunch in a small restaurant close to Santa Maria del Mar called La Luna which had a €12 menu which was a treat and great food. That night we wandered the Born again to bump into a lively joint called La Fianna, full with a great atmosphere and the best cocktails in the world! Oh I love Barcelona what about you!

Best mojito cocktails on the planet. The restaurant was lively, great and unique atmosphere at a relatively affordable price and nice looking people too... Oh la la what a treat.

A tiny dark wood bar where the ageing white-suited cocktail barmen expertly mix all the classics. It has no menu so this isn’t the place to go for a passionfruit vodkatini, but if you want to experience all the understated glamour of a bygone era, there’s no better place. Go for its simple signature gimlet cocktail or a martini. Heaven.
Calle Rec 24 (metro Jaume 1
Tiny cocktail bar (no tables, no chairs - just a bar). Though in the middle of Born still a very nice place.

Boadas cocktail bar is the oldest in Barcelona and does not have a list of cocktails. Just ask for anything or describe your mood and the bartenders will mix you the perfect drink.
Pile 43: the best mojito I've ever had, in a cool bar that doubles as a furniture shop, or is it the other way round?
This little cocktail bar has been going for decades. Tell the besuited bartenders your drink preferences and they will come up with a cocktail that is just right for you. Charmingly old-fashioned (including the prices).
