For lovers of creative pastries
Barcelona is a city brimming with design. Its pastries are no exception, and a prime example of this is the multitude of creative bakeries found throughout the city. This is the case with Bollo Cakery, where you can enjoy all of its extroverted and colorful creations in mini format. However, if there’s a creative pastry chef in the city, it’s Daniel Jordá, who has reinvented bread into a delicious watermelon. His creations can be found in restaurants throughout the city. However, the best option is to visit his bakery shop to enjoy his gourmet restaurant.
