Caelum

Caelum (“sky” in Latin) is a space where you can share and enjoy delicacies, liquors, and wines produced in monasteries or according to traditional recipes.

The exterior of Caelum grabs your attention as you walk down Palla St. (the exact address is Palla 8).

The delicacies and other tempting treats in Caelum’s window displays are interesting and invite you to take a closer look. Once inside, the aroma is floral, the atmosphere relaxing, and the decoration simple and natural. All of this comes together to make an agreeable and appetizing place.

I’d recommend it for people who want to take a break during their route through the Jewish neighborhood to rest up and gather their strength.

Caelum (“heaven”) is one of those places that exudes serenity and beauty. When you enter, you get an almost spiritual feeling. It greets you in the same way a cathedral does.

With a style of decor that reminds me of Provence, Caelum is the type of place that you just can’t miss if you’re exploring the center of Barcelona. I recommend taking the time to enjoy their monastery-sourced sweets (especially the “suplicaciones,” “suspiros de monja,” and “yemas de San Leandro”), their flavorful teas, and a glass of fine wine.

But above all, it’s a clam and peaceful place where you can have a lively conversation or a secret rendezvous, something unusual in this day and age where many places insist on playing the music as loud as possible.

In a corner of Barcelona’s Gothic neighborhood, you’ll find this little place dedicated to the enjoyment of sweets, coffee, tea, and relaxing conversation.

Don’t hesitate to stop by; there’s an upper floor and lower floor which has a buffet of sweets so you can choose exactly what you want. I hope you like it!
