Where the concierge points people first
- Cacao Sampaka — A Barcelona chocolate house that makes its own bars and bonbons, with flavor pairings well beyond the usual. The one to pick for a gift that did not come from an airport. (41.3898, 2.1641)
- Xocolates Fargas — One of the long-established chocolate shops of the Gòtic, still trading from an old shopfront. Go for boxed chocolates and the sense of a shop that predates the tourist trade. (41.3836, 2.1740)
- La Pallaresa Xocolateria Xurreria — On Carrer de Petritxol, the lane famous for its granges. Thick hot chocolate for dipping churros, served in a way that is closer to a pudding than a drink. (41.3829, 2.1728)
- Torrons Vicens Petritxol — Vicens is a turrón maker from Agramunt in inland Catalonia, and this is its shop on Petritxol. Chocolate-based turrón as well as the traditional almond kinds. (41.3830, 2.1726)
- Chök The Chocolate Kitchen — A chocolate bakery near the Boqueria, best known for filled and dipped doughnuts. A snack stop rather than a gift shop. (41.3847, 2.1683)

Easter is when Barcelona's chocolate shops show off
At Easter, Catalan godparents traditionally give children a mona de Pasqua, which in Barcelona has become an elaborate chocolate sculpture. In the fortnight before Easter Monday, pastry and chocolate shop windows fill with them, and that is the best time to see what the city's makers can do. The Museu de la Xocolata, run by the local pastry guild near the Born, hands out an edible chocolate bar as its entry ticket. On this list, Lindt, Leonidas and Jeff de Bruges are shops for foreign brands; Chocolatería Valor and Chocolates Lacasa LA BOUTIQUE are the own shops of Spanish makers.
