Cal Cuc
9 Carrer d'Àngel GuimeràRamen and asian tapas and craft beer... an amazing place. One of our favorites.
Amazing service and food, a very tiny place, you pick your meat out from behind the display, and they cook it on the grill in front of you. They have a great selection of beer and wine. Traditional food from Argentina, Chorizo, Choripan, empanadas... and of course the best meat. If you are a meat lover, don't miss this experience.

cash machines
these are where the cash machines are close to the apartment. We don't recommend carrying much cash on you, in most places you can pay with a card. 20 euros is usually enough, and small bills.
