COCKTAILSEl Born
A calm, stone-walled bar in El Born where the cocktails are made from things bars do not normally distil: oyster shells, nachos, roasted peppers. Silvia Dorninger and Francesco Falco make the distillates and ferments in the basement, and the result landed Aldea at number 26 on Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026. Twelve euros a drink, plus Japanese-style sandos, which Spain has accepted as a bocadillo with better PR.
