Probably the most famous tavern in Barcelona, La Xampanyeria is one of the places that you shouldn’t miss while you are in town. It is the perfect place where you can descover the real Spanish traditional ambiance.Founded in 1969, Can Paixano, or La Xampanyeria as everyone knows it, after so many years still keeps the atmosphere of a traditional sailor’s tavern. Nothing fancy, nothing fashionable, just great, tasty food, sparkling wines and friendly old bar ambiance.
It’s the perfect place to enjoy a wide variety of sandwiches and tapas as an excuse to drink the tasty rose cava. One glass of cava is 90 cents. Then food is also very cheap but extremely tasty.Order “el plato combinado” and enjoy the taste of different types of traditional sausages for less then 4 euros. Also a “must try” is the beef jamon and the salted sardines. They also serve a big variety of sandwiches at excellent prices. It is also possible to purchase bottles of cava, from the shop at the back of the bar, for only 2.60 euros. 
The bar is located on Carrer de la Reina Cristina 7, in Barceloneta . It is open from Monday to Saturday 09:00 – 22:30 and Sunday from 09:00 to 13:00. The bar is very crowded all the time. There are no seats so keep in mind that you will be eating standing at the bar. The only drink that they serve is cava and they don’t serve you alcohol unless you eat something.
Enjoy a typical spanish old bar atmosphere, taste great food and sparkling wine at unbeatable prices.
Have fun!
