Museu de la Xocolata aka: Chocolate Museum

I spent a great day with a friend and colleague roaming the streets of Barcelona. We wanted to go to the Picasso museum but when we saw ‘Museum of Chocolate’ we nearly killed one another running to find it.

Its a small museum with the history of chocolate and Spain. There are also some tacky chocolate sculptures but they’re made of chocolate and that’s takes away the tacky.

The gift store and cafe and nice. They serve the thick drinking chocolate (think chocolate motor oil…and just as hot) which still makes my mouth water 6 months later. Delightful.
Well worth an hour or so to visit.

The chocolate museum is a nice break from the hot sun and all the architecture of Barcelona. Interesting and fund. And afterwards you drink/eat the hot chocolate in the cafe.
