Opened in 1820 in El Raval, Bar Marsella is said to be Barcelonaâs very first bar and everyone from Picasso to Hemingway is rumoured to have been a regular at some point in this establishmentâs long and louche history.
Tucked away in the backstreets of the Raval, the part of town long considered to be a no-go area, Bar Marsella is one of Barcelonaâs most famous watering holes. The localeâs fame derives from two features. On one hand, it was frequented by the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso, among other bohemians, artists, and writers from the time gone by. On the other hand, the bar specializes in the sale of absinthe, an anise-flavored spirit nicknamed the âGreen Fairy,â owing to the effects of its high alcohol content (45â74 percent).
